The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs
Part 1
"Now the kingdom is facing its greatest crisis ever!"

It was His Royal Highness Julius who was standing on
a platform in the square in front of the school gates,
giving a speech.
After school.
Students returning to their dormitories and those
about to go out into the city to play stop and listen to
His Highness Julius' speech.
The reason is because they're obligated to hear him
out. That's the reason most of them are here.
However, some of them are joining in with great
enthusiasm.
His Highness Julius added gestures and raised his
voice as he looked around at the faces of the crowd.
'You're used to making speeches,' is how I—Leon Fou
Bartford—felt.
"I'm sure everyone has heard of the continuing
rebellion in many places. I'm sure everyone is anxious,
but don't worry. The army of our Holfort Kingdom is
on its way to put them down."
Even though sophomore year is nearing its end, the
military is dealing with a series of rebellion's in
various parts of the Holfort Kingdom.
It's not uncommon for the nobles to have skirmishes
within the country. So normally the students don’t
panic as long as their own safety was not in danger.
Page #1
However—if it happened frequently in different parts

of the country, they would become uneasy, even if
they didn't want to.
In fact, the female students listening to His Highness
Julius's speech seemed anxious.
"There was an uprising near my parents' home, too."
"There are many of them these days."
"I got a letter from my parent's telling me to stay in
Kings Landing for the long weekend"
Many students felt uneasy.
His Royal Highness Julius' speech in such a situation
attracted the students.
"Our country is strong! Don't be afraid of the frequent
uprisings! But—"
Julius closed his eyes and made a little pause.
His eyes widen and he says in a louder voice than
before
"—There's a country that's working behind the
scenes."
As the crowd began to buzz, His Highness Julius just
shut his mouth.
In the midst of the commotion, Marie Fou Lovan, who
was next to me, looked at His Highness Julius,
stunned.
''Hey, are you okay?''
When I called out to her, Marie had a huff and puff
look on her face. I'm sure Marie remembers this
scene. Of course, I remember it too.
Page #2
Towards the end of the middle of that otome game,

the real enemy is revealed. At that point, His Royal
Highness Julius will make a speech.
When the crowd is quiet, His Highness Julius resumes
his speech.
'The Principality—the Principality of Fanoss—is behind
the frequent rebellions.
The spectators were amazed at the new revelation
and shouted.
The fact that behind the uprising commotion is the
Principality, which has a longstanding hostile
relationship with the Holfort Kingdom, is highly
credible.
Amidst the commotion, I talk with Marie. To confirm
our knowledge of the game and to see what we're
going to do.
"The Principality didn't stop, did it?"
"Why won't they stop? You stole their trump card,
didn't you? And yet, what's the point of not stopping
the war?"
I'm not going to fight because I don't think I can win.
This type of decision seems simple, but it's actually
quite difficult.
We were naive in thinking that we could avoid a war
by capturing the magic flute, the Principality's trump
card.
Last time, in order to avoid the war, we rode into the
Principality of Fanoss and retrieved the Magic Flute.
Page #3
It's a tool that summons that otome game's last boss,

and it's an extremely troublesome item.
Without the flute, we thought the war would end. But
in the end, we couldn't avoid it.
''Leon, are you going to join the war?''
Marie also knows what happens after this.
What awaits after this—
"Everyone, do me a favor."
—When His Highness Julius held out his hands, he
looked divine and radiant.
After all, a good-looking man is always popular. I'm
sure no one would listen to me if I were to make a
speech.
"This crisis—I want to stop this crisis in the Kingdom.
Not as the crown prince. I want to save the kingdom
from danger, as Julius, as a knight! That's what I'm
asking for. Please lend me your help!"
The Crown Prince, as a knight, said he wants to save
the day.
The students were impressed by that.
There are voices calling out his name from
everywhere.
''Long live His Highness Julius!''
"Long live the kingdom!"
"I can help you!"
Gradually the crowd became invaded by the heat and
raised their voices.
Page #4
“Thank you. Thank you guys! Lend me your power and

I will survive this crisis. I—No, we will save the
country!”
Julius raised his voice at one point, and the crowd
responded with a voice that made the air shake. My
ears were aching.
Marie looked at it in horror. It seemed hard to
understand.
"Why do you want to go to war?"
It was a scene that had been talked about like a
beautiful story in that maiden game, but up close and
personal, it seemed to be a different scene somehow.
There was no emotion there.
It was just scary.
I wonder if Marie is the same, and she squeezes my
hand.
"You don't think you're going to die, do you? Well, the
aristocrats are the ones who stand back and give
orders on the battlefield. They don't have much of a
sense of urgency."
"And you?"
"Me? I hate it. If I don't have to fight a war, I won't."
Marie had a look of relief on her face. Did she think I
would be willing to join in? In the first place, student
soldiers would be a nuisance to professional soldiers
and knights.
They wouldn't want to be seen on the battlefield
when they hadn't even trained well.
Page #5
His Highness Julius waved his hand at the

enthusiastic crowd.
It was a scene that was quite exciting in the game,
but seeing it in person made me feel somewhat
empty, sad, and complicated.
Are these guys really going to join the war?
After a few days had passed since His Highness

Julius' speech, the atmosphere in the school had
changed drastically.
The tense air that had been tense due to the rebellion
was now buoyed by the heat.
The boys who wanted to take this opportunity to
make a name for themselves had announced in high
spirits in the classroom that they would be
volunteering for His Highness Julius' army.
"Alan, the son of the Viscount Bourdons, volunteers
for the army of His Highness Julius! Anyone else want
to join me?"
If they joined with a bunch of people, they would be
better remembered by His Highness Julius. This was
their ulterior motive.
Also, if you volunteer with a large number of people,
you in the army of His Highness Julius—shall we call
it a volunteer army? It would have been a volunteer
army in that otome game.
Your position in the volunteer army is also taken into
account.
Page #6
If you join alone, you're one of the soldiers, but if you

take ten men with you, you're a captain.
Also, rumor has it that if you send out armor and
airships with the support of your parents' family, you
will be treated as an officer.
Lots of boy's want to join for their future.
One after another, boys from the advanced and
normal classes had volunteered to join.
I was surrounded by Daniel and Raymond, who were
also poor aristocrats from the countryside, watching
the scene from a distance.
Both of them were looking coldly at me.
It's kind of sad that the country aristocrats are more
aware of the reality of the situation.
Daniel let out a sigh as he looked at the boys who
were floating around.
''For the sake of the country, for the sake of your
highness, their tatemae are splendid, aren't they?"
(TN: tatemae means a person's true feelings. It's
meaning is similar to ulterior motive. In this case,
Daniel is being sarcastic and saying their true feelings
are sincere when in actuality, they're all just in it for
the recognition.)
Raymond pushes his glasses up with his middle finger
and when he adjusts his position, he talks about the
boys' true feelings.
"If you're active here, you'll be popular with the girls.
There are a lot of boys who will stick around for this
reason."
Page #7
What a sad reality.

I saw a boy named Alan making a scene in the
classroom. He's a boy who wears ornaments and
looks like a rich man. He is surrounded by his cronies.
I'm sure he's going to put on a fine airship and armor
with the support of his parents' family.
Are the students, whose families are poor, going to
borrow weapons from Alan to fight in the war? Well,
that's not our problem.
"Daniel, Raymond, do you guys want to join in?"
I joked, and they both snickered.
"No,"
"Let's get real. It's not good for amateurs to be on the
battlefield. I think the only one of us who's allowed to
participate properly is Leon."
"Me?"
Raymond, who made it sound like I'm the only
exception, shrugged his shoulders and explained why.
''It was Leon who broke off the two families of
Viscount Raffan and Count Offley, right?" (TN: These
guys will probably be talked about in volume 6. Unless
I'm wrong, in which case please tell me.)
"Oh~ that was my brother. Nix is a really great guy.
You guys were watching him, weren't you? You guys
were in on it, too."
Yeah, right. Leon was the one working in the
background. I mean, we were the ones sending out
the airships.
Page #8
Let's just say that I'm only here to support my brother

in making a name for himself. I didn't sacrifice my
brother because I didn't want to stand out.
I'm a kind brother who's happy to see my brother get
ahead. —No offense.
Daniel laughed.
"I envy the Baldfart family because they are all
heroes. But you've made a name for yourself by
attacking dungeons. You even have an airship; a lot of
students know that."
Will they be pressing me to join them?
It's really annoying.
"I wish I could run away."
"I'm not sure they want you. The rich people want to
play an active role themselves. They don't want Leon
to take all the credit, do they?"
"You think they care more about taking credit for the
war than winning it?"
"It's too good a volunteer army."
"People dream too much, don't they?"
If you play an active role on the battlefield and come
back to the school, the girls won't leave you alone—
what a dream! Besides, if you play an active role here,
your future will be open.
His Highness Julius will remember you better, and
you'll be able to tell the saga of your activities since
your school days.
Page #9
They don't have to push themselves. Seeing the boys

trying to go to war makes me feel empty.
Let the adults take care of it. When we grow up, they
can make us participate in the war even if we don't
want to, but what are we going to do about it right
now?
We should have more fun while we are young.
We should not go to war.
A special building has been prepared on the school

grounds.
It is a house, not a dormitory, prepared for Olivia. It
was prepared for her, and only a few people are
allowed to enter.
Armed guards were prepared around the building, and
Olivia received special treatment.
But right now, the master is absent.
The people using such a building were the nobles who
represented the school.
Julius has a map in front of him that is placed on the
table. Several pieces that resembled airships were
placed and looked at them.
At Julius's side, Jilk is preparing a cup of tea.
"Your Highness, is there something troubling you?"
Julius responds to Jilk's question by rubbing his
fingers over his eyes. Julius's problem is that there
are too many volunteers.
Page #10
''Lots of students volunteered, but the problem is the

equipment."
"Is it still difficult to rent it from the royal court?"
"Father and Mother only told me to stay at the school.
I can't believe that the King is looking at me with his
finger in his mouth during this time of crisis."
One by one, the rebels rose up, and even the
Principality took advantage of the opportunity to
attack.
In this time of crisis, Julius has decided to fight on his
own.
The reason for this—Olivia.
Jilk laughed as if teasing Julius.
''Aren't you just trying to show Olivia-san your good
side?"
Don't be a fool!
Julius, who was flustered, forced himself to return
the conversation with a deliberate coughing fit, but
that just proved Jilks' point.
''Jilk, we're short on weapons. What about the other
three?
"They're still gathering their strength back at home."
The other three are Brad, the heir to the Field family.
Greg, the heir to the Seberg family.
Chris, the son of a swordsman.
Page #11
All three of them are heirs to powerful nobles and are

strong allies who agree with Julius. At the same time,
they were also love rivals for Olivia.
Julius puts his hand on his chin and looks down at
the map. Then he tells Jilk his decision.
''We will participate in this battle, and we will lead the
kingdom to victory."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Jilk agreed. He then suggested to Julius.
"Your Highness, why don't you ask the students who
own airships to help you?"
"Own an airship? Are there any students who do?"
"There are very few, but they exist. With their help, we
can assemble a fleet of airships. Some of the
students have armor, you know"
"Would it be better to have their help now?"
"Yes. After all, this is a matter of national
importance."
"All right. You're in charge. But don't push yourself."
"You can count on me, Your Highness."
Page #12
Part 2
"Hey, poor man! I've heard you don't plan to join His
Highness Julius's volunteer army,"
Alan, with his cronies, is talking to us in the
classroom.
I'm surrounded by Marie, Daniel, and Raymond.
Marie raises one eyebrow.
"What? Too bad you're poor? You posh boy!"
"No, no, not you."
Alan can't come out strong against Marie, who is a
girl. Just looking at her makes boys feel a sense of
intimacy.
Because of Alan's shouting in the classroom, the
students around us were paying attention to us.
Raymond seemed to think it was a bad idea.
"Guys, let's get out of the classroom. This situation is
bad."
As if to interrupt Raymond's thoughts, Alan used his
cronies to block our escape route.
"You're running away?"
Looking at the grinning Alan and the others, I feel
disgusted.
It isn't a problem if a nobleman doesn't join His
Highness Julius's volunteer army. Rather, it would be
better if he managed to disband it.
However, the atmosphere in the school did not allow
for that.
Page #13
It's not just the boys around us, even the girls are
giving us cold looks.
Daniel looked at Alan and the others in frustration
and muttered in a whisper, "It's dirty."
You are free to join the volunteer army. However,
refusing to do so would put you in a bad position in
the school.
This is because many boys, and to a lesser extent,
girls, have also announced their participation in the
volunteer army.
In other words, we are in the minority.
No matter how good of an argument we make, our
position cancels it out.
It's called peer pressure.
Alan talks loudly in front of everyone, on purpose.
"Bartford, you have an airship, don't you? I've heard
it's a fine airship acquired through adventure. So how
can you not join the volunteer army? Isn't this where
a real nobleman would have volunteered to take the
lead? If I were you, I would have volunteered on the
spot when I heard His Highness Julius' speech."
"I am not you and you are not me. Such metaphors
are pointless."
It's so embarrassing. It's like an amateur who watches
a boxing match, doesn't know anything about it, and
says something like, "I would have definitely been able
to avoid that straight up now!"
But Alan, with his surroundings on his side, was
bullish.
Page #14
"You're running away, coward?"

We haven't even participated in the war, but they're
treating us like cowards deserting it.
Humans are really stupid.
Marie steps forward to defend me and says what she
wants to Alan.
"Joining a volunteer army isn't compulsory. Don't
make it sound like Leon is on the run."
It's a good argument, but these guys don't get it.
Alan is really bullish because he thinks he is right. If
he thinks that the girls around him are on his side, he
will be bullish towards even Marie.
''It's His Highness Julius' volunteer army!"
"So what? In the first place--mug!"
Covering Marie's mouth with my hand, I decided to
just shut her up for a while. She isn't making this
situation better.
—The atmosphere in the school is already strange.
The eyes of the students around us are looking at us
as if we are their enemies.
"Sorry, she's my fiancé and quite protective. "
When I say that she's my fiancé, Alan makes a
blatantly disgusted face. In the school, boys who have
fiancées are the winners of the marriage race.
They are the students who have won, and they are
also the objects of jealousy for the boys who are still
struggling to get married. Alan also has a frustrated
look on his face.
Page #15
I'm glad to see such a look on you.

"As for volunteering for the volunteer army, I'll
consider it positively. I'm sorry we can't come to a
decision sooner. I have a lot of preparations to make,
too."
I'm going to decline in a positive way—that's a very
Japanese reply in my previous life. It's the magic word
that makes it sound like you're working on something
positive, even though you have no intention of doing
it.
Alan quickly turns his back on us and walks away.
"Make up your mind quickly. A poor nobleman in the
countryside is only worth so much. You should be
grateful you're allowed to join His Highness Julius'
volunteer army in the first place."
Daniel and Raymond stare at Alan's back, and then
quickly turn their gaze to me. Daniel looks frustrated.
"Leon, are you sure you want to keep this up?"
"We can't talk in here. Come with me."
"Hmmm! Hmm~!"
We walk out of the classroom with Marie, who’s
flailing about.
The eyes of my classmates hurt.
Alan and the others headed to the room where Jilk

was.
Jilk narrows his eyes at the sight of Alan and his
cronies, making no attempt to hide his discomfort.
Page #16
"You backed down without them making any

promises?"
The plan was to have Leon's airship sent out and
made Julius's flagship. Leon had used Partner when
fighting Countess Offley, and Jilk had heard about its
performance.
If the Royal Palace wouldn't lend them the power to
fight, they would have to procure it themselves.
Alan and the others make desperate excuses so as
not to spoil Jilk's mood.
"I wouldn't be this pained if I could tell you that. But,
His Highness Julius's flagship can be my ship. I can
assure you of a comfortable sailing experience."
Alan is a student with a large war chest.
In addition to his airship, he lends his armor to his
cronies and volunteers.
He is a valuable part of Julius's fleet. In fact, he is
treated as an executive in Julius's volunteer army.
However, it was only the current situation that
allowed him to become one.
But Jilk couldn't cut Alan off easily either.
''What I want is a warship, not a luxury cruise ship.
You must immediately persuade Mr. Bartford to join
us.''
"But..."
"You have to convince him. —I don't care how. Yes, I
have heard that he had a sister. Why don't you talk to
some of his other friends?"
Page #17
Although he avoided being direct, what Jilk wanted to

say was, "Threaten the people involved with him and
use them to get him to cooperate."
Alan and the others leave the room in a hurry.
Jilk sees them off and enjoys a cup of his favorite tea
in his favorite tea set.
"They are all useless subordinates. But they are
risking their lives to become His Highness's
subordinates, so we must be patient and use them.
It's all for His Highness and—and Olivia-san."
Page #18
Part 3
We took Marie to Master's room. We were invited into

a room that smelled like good tea, and in it, we talked
to Master about the future. Master was worried about
the current situation too and provided me with a lot
of information.
"Julius's—His Highness Julius's volunteer army? I've
heard about it as well; the royal palace doesn't
approve of it."
It was Marie who listened to master and agreed with
him.
"Oh, I knew it. Because it's weird to send students to
the battlefield or something."
Only if it were the end of the world, would they send
out student soldiers.
That's fine and all, but I don't understand the feelings
of His Highness Julius and the others who
volunteered themselves.
"I've also been invited."
Master was stroking his chin. "They seem to be aware
of what Julius and the others are after," he said.
"They don't want the battle prowess of Mister Leon,
they want the airships. They must be in a hurry to get
their forces together."
Marie is taking mouthful after mouthful of sweets
prepared by her master. Hey, you should be more
nervous! Please don't! Don't embarrass me in front of
my master!
Page #19
While he was troubled by Marie, his master graciously

allowed her to take as much as she wanted.
Marie said, "Thank you!", and then proceeded to eat
them one by one.
—Let's leave her alone.
"Based on the atmosphere in the school, I feel it's
dangerous to disobey him."
I seek advice from my master, because I'm sure that if
I disobey His Highness Julius and the others, that I
would get hurt.
I'm sure they will try to harass us.
"That will happen. The students of the academy are
being influenced by the excitement. If that's the case,
it might be a good idea to leave the school."
Leaving campus? You want me to run away from the
academy? Will I be able to get away with it?
Daniel and Raymond might even volunteer because
they don't want to leave.
"My impression of the people around me is the worst.
I'd rather be on the battlefield—"
As I said that much, my master smiled at me.
"That's right. Instead of His Highness Julius' volunteer
army, Mister Leon should lead his own volunteer army
to participate in the war."
Marie stuffed her mouth full of cookies and puffed
out her cheeks like a squirrel.
I was startled too.
"Wait! You're asking Leon to join the war!"
Page #20
The Master nodded.

"That's right. Though it's not the kind of battlefield
that Miss Marie would think of.
"What?"
Marie looks alternately at her master and me.
She doesn't seem to understand, so I explain to him.
"Do you know what's important to the war?"
"Strength?"
"That's part of it, but we also need supplies. An army
can't fight without ammunition, food for the soldiers,
and other things. Getting the supplies to them is going
to be very important."
My master nodded, so I must have been right.
"Exactly. Partner would be able to transport a large
amount of supplies. I'm sure the Royal Army would
accept it."
"But would they approve of me leading a volunteer
army?"
"I'll take care of it myself."
Thank you, Master! But who is master really? Wouldn't
he need to have a lot of influence to get my volunteer
army recognized? As I thought when I rescued senior
Clarice and the others, isn't Master quite an important
person?
Then I had an idea.
"Master, this is the volunteer army of His Highness
Julius, do you think the kingdom is not going to
recognize it as it is?"
Page #21
Will the King allow it or not? When I ask which will be

the case, Master gets a slightly troubled look on his
face.
"There's a chance that he will admit it. Rather than
letting him run out of control like this, there will be
an idea to prepare a battlefield where he can play an
active role and let him experience his first battle. That
is a possibility."
Then, will His Highness Julius eventually go into battle
as well?
This situation is scary because it seems like
everything is set in stone. Like a game scenario.
But I'll be the one changing it.
"I would like to have a meeting with His Highness
Julius."
At my offer, the master showed a dubious
expression—but he immediately smiled.
"Let me arrange it."
"Thank you."
When I met with His Highness Julius, he was in a

surprisingly welcoming mood.
"Bartford, I've heard about you. I heard that you have
been recognized as a volunteer army by the royal
palace."
His Highness Julius, who wanted to lead a volunteer
army to war, was regretting that I got the royal court's
Page #22
permission first. However, he doesn't seem to harbor

any emotions against me.
"I've been asked to undertake a transport mission
with my companions. I can't expect to perform as
spectacularly as His Royal Highness the Crown
Prince."
"I'm not allowed to go to war. You're braver than I
am."
"That's not true. Soon, the royal palace will recognize
His Highness' volunteer army."
I've heard about it beforehand from my mentor and
it's almost a done deal.
It was approved by that maiden, so it will go on as it
should.
In fact, when Master went to the royal palace to ask
for permission to set up my volunteer army, the talks
in the royal palace were coming together in the
direction of approving His Highness Julius's sortie.
I also got permission from my master to tell him
about it.
"Really? You seem to know something about the state
of affairs—do you have a handmaiden in the royal
palace?"
"It's a secret."
It must be strange for me, a country nobleman, to
have a messenger in the royal palace.
Jilk standing by His Highness Julius's side is
smiling....... it's scary because I don't know what this
guy is thinking. (TN: It's probably nothing good.)
Page #23
However, Alan and the others standing by the wall

were staring at me in frustration.
So, I smile.
"We'll do our best to be useful in this fight, too. Good
luck to you too, Alan."
"I'm gonna do it without you telling me!"
I, who had made a fool of myself so much, is now
leading a volunteer army with the permission of the
royal court. I guess that's what Alan can't forgive me
for.
His Highness Julius grasps my right hand in both of
his.
"We'll follow soon enough. If we meet on the
battlefield, I'll look after you."
It makes me sad to see His Highness Julius with a
twinkle in his eye, looking forward to the battlefield. I
wish he'd get the reality of the situation as soon as
possible.
I called out to Alan and then decided to leave the
room.
"Alan, don't be reckless."
Alan, who took my words as me mocking him, clicked
his tongue.
"You'll see. I'm going to play a part in this war, and I'm
going to be a hero."
…You should be happy you're alive. That's all that
matters to me.
Page #24
While Leon was meeting with Julius, Marie was

waiting outside the building.
It was not that she would feel uncomfortable about
meeting the royals, though, she didn't want to get
close to Julius and the others now. It's just that
everyone was somewhat tense.
"Sigh, why do men want to go to war? Peace is best,
right?"
The boys who hear about the war and are enthusiastic
about taking an active role in it.
And the girls who send them out.
Marie couldn't understand them at all.
She heard voices from a place hidden in the shadows
of the building, and when she went to take a peek,
she saw a man and women embracing each other.
"Yulia, I'm going to get a medal for this fight and come
for you."
"Lloyd will be a hero. Just make sure you come back
to me."
"Yeah, I promise."
Apparently, the boy named Lloyd seems to be a
regular class student. In contrast, a female student
named Yulia seems to be in the advanced class.
Witnessing the love between the different identities,
she gets a little bit embarrassed. However, Marie
immediately thinks.
(You should stop him. He doesn't have to go fight.)
Page #25
Gathering up her courage, Marie approached them.

They left in a hurry, and their cheeks were red with a
primitive look.
Seeing them, Marie asks Lloyd for help.
"You're a normal class boy, right? Actually, Leon Fou
Bartford is leading a volunteer army. Do you want to
be a pilot in armor there? We're short on staff."
He managed to mend and solicit with a drawn-out
smile.
They were confused by the sudden offer. Only, Lloyd
shook his head.
"I'm sorry, but I've decided to join His Highness Julius'
volunteer army."
"Oh, yeah? But, wouldn't it be better if it was easier to
go into battle?"
"No!"
"What?"
Lloyd tells Marie why he dismissed her proposal.
"Yulia's family is a baronial family. There is a need for
Yulia to have a husband, but if I, who doesn't have a
reputation, asked for a marriage proposal, it would
only be rejected. But if I join His Highness Julius's
volunteer army, it would be an honor in itself! I'm
going to be a hero, and I'm going to be a man worthy
of Yulia—a knight!" (TN: This is so sad.)
Yulia looks at Lloyd with her cheeks dyed red.
"—Lloyd, you've been thinking about me so much."
Marie was puzzled by the two of them.
Page #26
She gives up trying to convince them as Leon comes

out the building, and rushes to him. Meanwhile, the
two resume their love-making.
Page #27
Part 4
"The palace doesn't give a damn."

Gritting his teeth in the empty room, Jilk was in a
hurry because his planned plan to make Partner his
flagship had gone awry.
"If I don't do this, I'll cause trouble for Olivia-san in
the royal palace. If I do that, my existence is
worthless!"
He held his head in his hands.
He was acting impatient and breathing erratically.
Jilk didn't want Olivia to dislike him at all.
He pondered what to do, and then thought about
getting a replacement airship.
"Let's scrounge up some airships, even if it's a bit
heavy-handed. We've been too lax in the past. This is
a battle for the honor of Your Highness. We can't
afford to embarrass him."
For Julius' sake, for Olivia's sake—he repeated the
same excuses in his head and decided to scrape up
the strength, even if it was somewhat forceful.
The plan is to have the students procure it (TN:
supplies, and armors and stuff) for each other.
Of course, Jilk has no right to make them do that.
However, this plan can be realized. All you have to do
is create an atmosphere in the school where they will
be forced to provide it themselves. If they don't
provide it, he can drive them away as having no noble
spirit.
Page #28
It's pretty vicious, but Jilk doesn't hesitate.

He puts on a cold expression and leaves the room.
The port where Partner is anchored is packed with

people from the poor nobility.
Both men and women are participating in the war as
my volunteer army, to make a track record of
participating in the war and—to escape from the
school, which is surrounded by a bizarre atmosphere.
I watched from the deck as the people I knew
boarded from the ramp.
I could hear Marie's voice. Marie is trying to get the
girls she knows aboard."Come on, get aboard! Hurry
up!"
"Marie, you're scaring me~"
She pushed the small girl hugging the book and forced
her onto the partner.
"Just get in! If you were at school, you'd be holed up
in the library, right?"
"Yes."
Why are you taking what she said for granted? I
looked at the girls who responded like that and I
watched, thinking that Marie must be feeling troubled
too.
Behind Marie, there were girls who followed behind
her— reluctantly following her. They must have been
forced out of the school by the atmosphere too.
Page #29
—But more importantly, aren't there a lot of them?

There were more girls than Marie was taking care of
before.
Marie doesn't have it easy either.
The girls that Marie is taking care of have a strong
habit of taking care of themselves.
The boys in my group are looking at them like hungry
beasts.
"If you get on Leon-senpai's airship, you'll have a
chance to talk to them!"
"You're kidding me?! Give this place up to your
seniors!"
"I don't know! If it comes to this, it's a duel!"
Everyone's eyes are bleary-eyed because their lives
are at stake. They ignore the hierarchy and fight each
other, which is a sight to behold.
She might be a reclusive girl who loves books, but
compared to the noble girls at school, her flaws are
more attractive. Love books? I'll buy as many as I can!
That's what we boys are all about. It's tens of
thousands of times better than being asked for
precious metals, giving them away, and then them
being sold to a pawn shop a few days later.
—again, I think the school is a sad existence for the
boys.
In addition to the girls that Marie is taking care of,
there are other girls from the poor aristocracy that
come aboard. They must have sensed the atmosphere
in the school and fled.
Page #30
"There's a larger group than I expected."

"The current atmosphere at the school is intolerable."
As I look down at such a scene from the deck, Luxion
approaches me.
"It's been a while,"
"Why did you call me, master?"
"I've got a lot on my plate. More importantly, have you
finished your errands?"
"Not yet."
"You should prioritize this then."
"Partner's performance is enough to serve the
purpose without me. Besides, I'll leave Arroganz
behind"
Arroganz—the armor prepared exclusively for me is
larger than the standard armor in this world.
"You're going to leave your master alone?"
"Are you lonely? Don't worry. We have artificial
intelligence on board the Arroganz, and we have
drones in place in Partner. You have nothing to worry
about."
Lately, Luxion has been busy, flying around from place
to place, away from my side. If I tell him I miss him
for that, he'll say something sarcastic again, so I'll
keep quiet.
"Artificial intelligence in the Arroganz? Your replica?"
"I'm sorry, but there's no way to replicate my kind of
high-performance artificial intelligence in a space as
small as Arroganz."
Page #31
It's like he's trying to tell me he's a genius.

"But I can assure you that it is better than master."
"You're a real loudmouth. —and how did the
investigation of the saint's necklace go?
"The investigation is currently on hold due to low
priority."
"I want to know what's going on in the country. Make
it a priority"
"I've already collected the magic flute. Isn't it
unnecessary? Instead, our priority is to destroy the
remains of the new humans. That is an objective that
should be achieved."
As usual, he has no mercy for new humans. In a way,
is it typical of Luxion? If you look at the harbor,
drones are in the process of loading and unloading
cargo.
To the untrained eye, it would look like they were
using their armor to load and unload their cargo.
"Luxion, stay, we need your help,"
The current situation continued to be unpredictable,
and I couldn't help but feel uneasy on my own. That's
why I'm giving orders to Luxion—
"I'm judging it to be unnecessary. I don't think my
performance will be needed. More importantly, if we
leave the remains of the newcomers unattended and
a problem arises, it will be a disaster. Like the master
said, there is a possibility that the world could be
destroyed."
"Really?"
Page #32
He's saying that if we leave the remains of the new

mankind unattended, the world will be destroyed. I
don't think this guy is going to lie to me, so should I
make that a priority?
"I'll be back as soon as I can. —I'll be back as soon as
I can. I'm sure Master will miss me."
"—That's quite an assumption."
I watched Luxion leave and I looked up at the sky.
"Is it really going to be this simple?"
The Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Holfort.

There, Olivia is meeting with a traitor named Marquis
of Frampton. The Marquess of Frampton himself
believes himself to be a patriot who has sacrificed
himself for his country, and he has no doubt about it.
But the way he did save the country could not be
called patriotic.
Such was the Marquis of Frampton - Olivia. No, I don't
hate saints. It's because she's more useful than the
rest of us.
"It seems that Jilk is trying hard, too. He's doing some
cute things so that I like him."
As Olivia read the report, the Marquis of Frampton
was dismayed.
"You're receiving complaints every day from the
nobles who have their children in the school,"
Page #33
"Once Julius goes to war, there will be less

complaints. It's a great honor to be part of the Crown
Princes' first battle. Isn't it?"
"Well, I guess I'll just have to shut up. But do you
really want to send His Highness Julius to war? He
doesn't have any formal training, you know?"
He wasn't actually worried about Julius, but rather
about the palanquin she carried.
It's the same with Olivia.
"There are plenty of alternatives available." (TN: For
these paragraphs, it's kind of hard to express so I'll
put the gist of it here: Olivia is sending Julius to war
so he can distinguish himself, and he can become a
better pawn. But, in the case he fails and dies or
something, she's saying she can find an alternative. As
long as she has the saints item she's fine with
whatever.)
"You really are a terrible woman. For you to be a saint,
this must be the end of the world."
At those words, Olivia laughed at the corners of her
mouth in a position where the Marquis of Frampton
couldn't see her. Her eyes were glazed over.
(You're right. It's the end of the world for the Kingdom
of Holfort.)
The saint in Olivia, who acts to destroy the kingdom
of Holfort, orders the Marquis of Frampton.
"I'll be on the battlefield too. Prepare me a ship were I
can use my power."
Page #34
"Are you sure? It's a student-controlled fleet. You

know how much damage you could do..."
"It's convenient. I'm leaving now."
The Marquis of Frampton stopped moving for a
moment in front of Olivia's uncharacteristic childlike
spirit. Immediately afterwards, he nodded impatiently.
"Okay."
As Olivia walked out of the room, Kyle, who was
waiting outside, approached her.
"Gosh, Master, where to next?"
Olivia replies to the question from a nervous Kyle with
a smile on her face."I'll follow Julius on his first
battle. Kyle will be taking care of me too, so follow
me."
"Yes!"
Even though she was heading to the battlefield, Olivia
didn't show the slightest bit of panic.
It was because the saint had experienced this many
times in the past.
"Good job, Arroganz!"

"There! There! A little more to the right!"
Partner's hangar.
Me and Marie were cheering on the unmanned, moving
Arroganz.
As for what Aroganz is doing—.
"—Miss."
Page #35
—admitting that he made a mistake himself, he

watched as the crates, stacked in a huge body,
crumbled.
Arroganz is playing with the crates left over from the
transport of supplies, using them as building blocks.
—not.
Arroganz is gaining experience.
Arroganz, newly equipped with artificial intelligence,
moves poorly. If it walks, it scrapes. If it flies, it falls
for some reason. When he plays with blocks, he fails.
He's still like a tottering baby.
Such is the case with Arroganz as he heads for the
corner of the hangar.
"Arroganz?"
Marie calls out to him, and he sits down with his back
to us and stares at the wall.
"What's the matter with you, Arroganz? Are you
sulking?"
Marie approaches and tries to get him to stand, but
the weapon, Arroganz, doesn't freak out. And yet, he
makes an excuse.
"—Recalculating."
"You're sulking, aren't you? You're definitely sulking!
Come on, baby, do it again. You can do it again.
Arroganz can do it!"
I was sitting on the crate watching Marie, who was
desperately trying to encourage Arroganz.
Page #36
The reason I'm watching the two of them interact is

because I'm basically bored.
Even though we're out on the battlefield, we students
are on a mission to transport supplies in the rear.
The regular army doesn't consider us a force, and we
were told to never go into battle.
We should be glad that there are sane adults left in
the field.
Raymond comes to the hangar.
"Leon, we're about to arrive. Huh? Is Arroganz still
playing with blocks?"
"Isn't it cute?"
When I bragged about my no-good, cute Arroganz,
Raymond didn't seem to understand.
"I don't believe in armour that works unattended. It's
not like it's got a ghost on it or anything, is it?"
Raymond and his friends didn't understand when I
told them that Arroganz is equipped with artificial
intelligence.
Thanks to this, there are rumors that the Arroganz is
carrying a ghost.
The only people who come close to him are me and
Marie.
I get out of the crate and call out to Marie and
Arroganz.
"We're about to arrive. We're about to start unloading
and you can get some rest."
"Recalculation is complete."
Page #37
"I'll tell Arroganz to practice while I'm gone."

"Just get some rest. We're going working."
When Marie came toward me, she put her hands on
her hips. It's Marie's outfit, but since it's strange to be
in uniform in a hangar, she's in her ties.
"I'm going to go talk to all the girls,"
"Do you want me to help you?"
"Of course! If you leave them alone, a lot of the boys
go to their rooms. Besides, the boys work harder
when they're around."
The boys who want to look good in front of girls will
work even harder than usual
Men are sad creatures, aren't they?
Raymond laughs.
"I don't blame them for doing so. Well, I'm going to go
and talk to the guys."
In the hangar where they left, I look up at Arroganz.
"I don't think anything will come to pass, but if it
something does happen, please lend me some help."
"…acknowleged."
Arroganz responds briefly, raises his arms high—and
hits the hanger crane. This robot is a big ditz.
Page #38
Part 5
The volunteer army, led by His Highness Julius, was

fighting the rebels.
Watching the battle from the bridge of the airship,
Olivia smiled inwardly. She enjoys watching her allied
ships sink.
(Yes. Sacrifice your young lives in vain. If you're going
to hold a grudge against someone, hold it against your
ancestors for making you a noble.)
Julius was shouting at the crew.
"Bring this ship to the frontlines! Our flank is being
beaten." (TN: It said side, but I wrote flank since that's
the military term.)
"No! His Highness Julius has orders to not bring the
flagship to the front!"
"Whose orders?!"
"His Majesty the King!"
"F**k!"
Out of concern for his allies, he tried to step forward.
But when he found out it was an order by his father,
His Majesty the King, he was forced to stop.
Olivia looked at Julius with a worried face.
Inwardly, however, she wasn't the least bit worried.
(I thought this battle would go on for longer, so this is
disappointing. Still, seeing them fall is going to be
interesting.)
Page #39
On the battlefield, the students with their armor,

were battling the rebels. The rebels were a group of
renowned air bandits.
They were ordered to retreat if they encountered the
regular army, but the volunteer army was easy
pickings.
The volunteer soldiers were dropping like flies, by the
hands of these experienced men. They were fighting
by the textbook.
The air bandits were rewarded for every dead soldier,
and therefore fought with tenacity.
This was ordered by Marquis Frampton—and Olivia.
Suddenly, Greg's voice was heard on the bridge.
It seems Greg boarded his armor and led his allies
into battle.
"I'm going to help! You guys need support!"
Chris couldn't stand by either. He also led a group of
students, with himself at the helm, into the battle.
"You just support them. I'm going to win this battle!"
As the two of them charged in, the bandits were
pushed back. But they were experienced too, if you
looked down on them, they could turn the tables.
Chris was chasing them around, sword in hand.
"Don't run from me coward! Fight me!"
Julius and Jilk showed the same expression at the
sight of him.
"Is the bandits' morale low?"
Page #40
"Your Highness, I think it's as high as it gets. Now let

us rescue our allies."
Seeing Julius, who already knew the bitterness of
defeat, even in his first battle, Olivia snuggled up to
him.
"Julius, you, the commander can't look down.
Everyone is watching."
"You're right. I'm not going to let some bandits defeat
me."
Olivia smiled at Julius, who had recovered, but she
was cold inside.
(It doesn't matter if you fall now anyways, since
you're the next King of Holfort.)
Page #41
Part 6
A collection point for supplies built on a floating

island.
There, supplies were prepared to be delivered to each
battlefield.
Airships frequently came and went.
They were in a hurry. The harbor was overflowed with
people and cargo.
Marie and I were in a building in this port.
"We've been here so many times and yet, it's still
always beautiful"
Marie watched the scene with admiration. Indeed, the
scene of Armor modified for work carrying loads one
after another seemed straight out of a sci-fi movie.
This is one of the reasons I enjoy this world so much.
How much better it would be, if it weren't war
related.
"Don’t leave, you'll get lost."
"Don't be ridiculous!"
While teasing Marie, I entered a building to get my
next order. In it I found a poster plastered on a large
bulletin board.
No, it looked like a newspaper.
There was a crowd of people surrounding it.
"I heard His Highness won his first battle."
Page #42
"He's fighting really well with just a volunteer army."

"It says he won three in a row."
The soldiers with the transport mission were shouting
in admiration. It seems like His Highness's army was
quite active.
Marie looked anxious.
"His Highness and the others aren't going to lose
right?"
"Master said he's placed guards around His Highness,
who will intervene if needed."
"If they're winning, they'll be fine. We won't all die,
right? Right?"
Marie looked uneasy until she heard the answer from
me.
"Maybe."
"Maybe? Tell me everything is fine here! How could
you not know? I'm insecure! I need you to take away
my anxiety!"
"I'm an honest man and I'm a very reliable witness."
"Twisted bastard!"
I took the complaining Marie and headed to the room
where the big man was.
As for the article I just read, I deliberately avoided
negative topics.
How much damage has been done? I don't want to
think about it too much.
Page #43
I want it to be as fluffy and sweet as that otome

game world. I'm hoping for a great turn of events
where no one dies and they come back.
—What I'm concerned about is that they didn't talk
about the damage in the game. I hope they're all safe,
but I'm not sure what's really going on.
As we left, we stopped as we heard a topic of
concern.
"Is the young girl on the battlefield too?"
"The Saint? They're saying she's the goddess of victory
or something."
"Cute kid." (TN: Woah dude.)
When Marie heard Olivia's name, she was peeved.
"…'Saint', is it?"
"What, you're jealous? Come to think of it, someone
tried to take the title of Saint and failed once."
I laughed at her, and Marie got pissed and denied it.
"It was just a dream! You're stupid forever!"
It was Marie who had tried to get into a meeting with
His Highness Julius and the others in an attempt to
replace Miss Olivia.
She even attempted made contact with them
afterwards, but she failed every time.
It would mean that the mob would not be able to do
their best, after all.
As I walked down the hallway talking to Marie, the
building was emptied. Not just the soldiers, but even
the knights walked out.
Page #44
"What?"
I could hear the knights talking. One of the loudest
ones was screaming to the puzzled knights.
"His Highness Julius is here!"
Page #45
Part 7
Once His Highness Julius' arrived, he was warmly

welcomed by the staff.
We poor aristocrats felt a bit alienated. After all, our
highest priority was to resupply, not greet him.
Marie was back on board, but the boys had mixed
expressions at the sight of the volunteer army.
I listened to Daniel and Raymonds' conversation as I
surveyed the, now decreased in number, fleet.
"There were more than 10 ships at the start, right?"
"They must have gathered more after we left the
academy, so there must have been more."
The others were also looking at His Highness with
complicated expressions.
It's possible they routed, but if they didn't, chances
are they sank.
"Consecutive victories, huh?"
Every ship except one was safe.
The safe one was the flagship.
Page #46
Part 8
At the base of the port, Olivia was conversing with the

Marquis.
Olivia held her glass and observed its contents.
"The Principality is acting quite laid back, isn't it?"
She was being sarcastic but the Marquis didn't mind
making small talk.
"I see you've reduced the pirates by quite a bit."
"It wasn't really worth it."
"I've also seen His Highness. He's grown up a lot."
Olivia's shoulders shook. She was laughing inwardly.
The Marquis craned his neck, puzzled by her attitude.
"What's so funny? He'll make a fine king, I'm sure."
"Yeah, I know."
Despite her verbal affirmation, Olivia was inwardly
thinking the opposite.
(Can you really call that growth?)
The Kingdom was going to collapse, just like Olivia
predicted.
"More importantly, will the Duke of Redgrave make a
move?"
Are you going to war with them? The marquis took a
sip of his wine before answering.
"It's been arranged for Vince to be the commander-in-
chief. Our faction will not participate in the first
group, so we won't get sacrificed. But I've managed to
Page #47
rake in the Redgrave house and some other frontier

houses. They'll sacrifice themselves to take him
down."
The Marquis is going to use this to weaken some
nobles on the frontier too.
"While I'm at it, I'll remove all those who stand in my
way. If no one joins me, others will get suspicious."
"They'll pull Vince down, and weaken themselves in
the process. They may be a hindrance, but they'll
serve us well."
"You're bad." (TN: Not that you're much better lol.)
Olivia raised her glass and smiled.
"I want this country and I'll do anything for it. And I'll
be the Queen and you the Prime Minister. Let's
continue to be friends, Prime Minister Frampton."
The Marquis was happy at those words.
"Of course, My Queen. No, My Saint."
The two smiled dimly, but it wasn't mutual trust. They
were hungry to use each other.
Page #48
Part 9
The Royal Castle of the Principality of Vanoss.

Hertrude was getting ready to lead their fleet into
battle. There were maidservants around to help her
get dressed, with no men in sight. It was her sister,
Hertrauda, who barged into the room.
"Sister, please listen to me just once!"
Hertrude takes one look at Hertrauda's face and
returns her gaze to the mirror disinterestedly.
"It's annoying, but without the magic flute the
Principality will fall apart—"
"Why does that matter?!
"You are royalty, what are you saying?!"
Hertrude was enraged by Hertrauda's words, which
made even the maidservants uneasy. She glares at her
sister with a sharp look in her eyes and slaps her as
she approaches. A dry thud echoes through the room
and the maidservant's distance themselves from the
two. The head maidservant tries to warn Hertrude but
she ignores her.
"Stand back, I have a lot of things to teach my
inadequate sister."
The head chamberlain stops her in a hurry—
"But we must hurry!"
"Just leave."
The maidservants follow the command of Hertrude,
intimidated by her tone, and leave the room.
Page #49
Hertrauda looks at her sister with teary eyes, in the

empty room.
"What was that remark? If you say something like
that, the people will think they have been abandoned.
Hertrauda, do you understand? You are to be the
Queen if I don't return. I can't leave you in charge if
you continue such behavior."
"Sister, please listen to me."
"That won't be necessary—I'll be leaving."
As Hertrude turned to leave the room, she signals
with her hand to Hertrauda. Once Hertrude sees the
look on Hertrauda's face, she feels relieved.
"I'll have Hertrauda reflect on this, don't let her leave
the room."
(I won't let anyone touch Hertrauda.)
Locked in Hertrude's room, Hertrauda understood

what the signal meant.
She found a letter prepared in advance and read it.
"—Sister…"
Tears spill out of her eyes as she reads it. On it, was
an apology for Hertrude's previous attitude. It also
said that there was no one she could trust. She
doesn't know where they're watching from, so be
careful. Added in the letter were the names of some
suspicious vassals.
The first was Count Gerrat.
Page #50
Sitting on the bed, Hertrauda clutches the letter with

tears in her eyes. At the end of it, Hertrude requests
her to burn it.
She might have to burn her sister's last letter.
"Everything will be taken from me…"
"We are supposed to be royalty, yet…"
She had just been informed of her powerlessness.
Going up to the fireplace, Hertrauda burns the letter.
After doing so, she cries and sobs in frustration.
Page #51
Part 10
A military base at the goods depot.

Partner, who was ordered to stay on standby, was
finally given a mission. I'm the one who talks with
him, since Marie is busy with Arroganz.
There's an important man throwing orders in front of
me. His attitude is clearly looking down on me, but
this great man seems to be a noble. He's probably
some far back in the succession line. He is definitely
not happy with his assignment with commander of
the goods depot.
"The Principality has moved, you volunteer army, go
deliver supplies to the frontline."
"The Principality of Vanoss?"
"Yes."
"Just us? Without an escort?"
"You think we have the wherewithal to do that on this
base? We're busy over here. In a few days, new
volunteer soldiers will arrive from the academy. We're
busy preparing to receive them."
This base commander, he's trying to win over His
Highness. I guess he's working hard, if His Highness
remembers him here, he might make it to the top.
However, there's some information I couldn't ignore.
"More volunteer soldiers are coming?"
"After hearing about His Highness's victory, the
remaining cowards seemed to have lifted a heavy
hand. Other young nobles who graduated from the
Page #52
academy will also participate. We're planning to form

a large fleet."
The commander, with no choice, is helping the
organization of the fleet.
Are they still going to rake in more students, after all
the damage?
Moreover, they're fighting the regular army of the
Principality.
As if the base commander thought he couldn't stay
with me forever, he told me to get out of here.
When I left the room, I caught sight of a familiar
face. It was the knight I saw at my brother Nicks's
castle.
"Long time no see, Leon-sama."
"Yeah, hi."
The knight held out a letter from Nicks.
"A letter from our lord to Master Leon."
"My brother?"
"My lord has been asked to participate in this battle,
he has been entrusted with the first line of defense."
I hurriedly skimmed the letter. It seems a lot of things
were rushed while I was nonchalantly resting in
Partner.
The letter states that the palace has ordered Nicks
and Father to join the battle.
"It is an order from the Crown. The same goes for
provincial barons or barons."
Page #53
It can be seen that they are scrambling for strength in

a great hurry. After all, the rebels are running rampant
in many places. The regular army can't handle it.
—it's like the same scenario as in the game.
In that otome game, the Redgrave family, who led the
first group, should have been defeated. So Angelica's
family would have failed.
That's why, it's not good to have my dad and brother
there.
I don't want my dad to die, and if my brother dies, I
feel sorry for my newly married sister-in-law Dorothy.
I can't say this is a good scenario.
The letter said to take care of the rest if you need
anything else, but I squeezed it.
"Master Leon, why are you squeezing the letter?"
Nicks' knight is upset so I tell him what I'm going to
do.
"We're going to participate. We're already planning to
deliver supplies to the frontlines. I'm sure the rural
nobles in the volunteer army want to support their
parents."
The other guy is like, "What is he talking about?".
It can't be helped; I'm not going to leave it to the
Redgrave family. Damn it! If only Luxion was here. He
could gather more information.
That guy is useless at the most important points.
Page #54
Part 11
In the fort-like building in the goods depot, the

students of the volunteer army led by Julius were
holding feast.
There were no knights or soldiers to stop them. Partly
because of Julius's position, but also because they
had heard the losses of the volunteer army.
In the banquet hall, Julius acted cheerfully.
"My fellow warriors! Thanks to you, our army has won
a series of battles! Now, let us enjoy the feast!"
"Long live Prince Julius!"
"We're the best of the volunteers!" (TN: Well,
technically you're the only volunteers…)
"Even the Principality can be beaten!"
The volunteers, raised their mugs and answering
Julius's voice, were drinking like they were bathing in
alcohol. They were making fools of themselves.
However, compared to the early days, there were
fewer of them. With each battle, the number of those
Julius called his comrades-in-arms would dwindle. As
a result, they were reduced to about half.
Every time they fought, many of them lost their lives,
and even the executive class students who
participated with their airships were killed in the
battle.
Alan was not here either.
Lloyd was also not here. (TN: Everyone in the
comments called it, lol.)
Page #55
Greg, and Chris and Brad and the others had formed
their own groups and were drinking.
Julius is approached by Jilk.
Only Julius and the other noblemen—the boys who
weren't the targets of the attack—were safe.
"Your Highness, the report arrived just now."
"Oh, how'd it go?"
"New volunteers are arriving from the school. Even the
alumni heard of our successes."
The banquet hall is in full swing at the report of a
smiling Jilk.
Julius stood on a chair and drew the attention of
those around him.
"Did you all hear what Jilk just said? Our exploits have
reached the Capital! Let us continue to fight a
decisive battle against the Principality, and have our
name engraved in the history of the kingdom!"
The banquet hall was filled with the excitement of the
students.
Julius put a hand to his chest.
"And let us pray for our dead comrades in arms. They
were brave. They will continue to watch over us."
As the audience gets excited, Greg raises his voice.
"Our passed friends would like it too! Come on,
people! Let's gain a big victory and make sure our
dead comrades aren't forgotten!"
Once again, the banquet hall was in full swing.
Page #56
It was as if they were daring to make a lot of noise to

force themselves to forget the events on the
battlefield.
Page #57
Part 12
The front line.

Leon quickly departed with the rest of the nobles and
arrived. Upon his arrival, two ships with the Bartford
family crescent approached him.
Soon, they covered both his flanks. This resulted in
Partner being sandwiched between the two. (TN: Not
touching, of course.) On one side, the ship with his
father, and the other, the ship with his brother.
After blocking his escape route, Leon's brother, Nicks,
boarded the ship.
"What are you doing on a battlefield?!"
"Don't be so mad. Even if we die, we have Colin." (TN:
He probably meant that Colin [their younger brother]
could carry their bloodline on.)
"Don’t jinx it! Besides, what's that young boy going to
do after our deaths?! That's one of the reasons me
and dad came here instead of you!"
If Colin came to the battlefield, I too would be angry. I
can understand brothers' anger.
My father was also stunned.
"Leon, why did you come to the battlefield? You don't
have any heroic aspirations, right?"
My father, who knows my character well, wants to
know what I want. Is wanting to prevent your family's
death a heroic aspiration?
I may not have Luxion, but I have Arroganz and
Partner. It's not like we're lacking in skill.
Page #58
I can take care of the Principality without my trump

card (Luxion).
—There's only one problem.
"I'm leading a group of weak (in political power, not
physical strength) nobles in the volunteer army. They
want to aid their families, who live around here."
"Is that really why you're here? Tell me the truth."
It's sad, my dad is suspecting me of lying.
"I was worried about my family."
Nicks gave me a distant look.
"You're lying."
"Why would I?! I was so worried about you guys, that I
showed up here on a battlefield! You need to trust
your brother more!"
"A brother who cares about his family wouldn't sell
his brother out to some woman!"
"I'm going to tell sister-in-law!"
"No, stop! That's unfair!"
—Please don't tell me I sold you out. All I did was
introduce a possible marriage partner.
Even if she has a bit of a character, she's still a
beauty.
"Relax, both of you. He won't be able to go back
home, so we'll have him in the rear with you."
My dad had a resigned look on his face.
I'm sorry, but I'm not so heartless as to abandon my
family. If I had to choose between others or my
family, it'd be my family.
Page #59
"Leon, this isn't the same kind of fight as the one with
the Olfreys and the Lovans. Are you ready for this?"
At his words I straightened my posture and nodded
slowly. Not averting my gaze from his sharp eyes.
"I see. So you're still a stupid kid."
Next to my dad, who let out a sigh, Nix was a little
irritated. Not at me, it was at our older brother,
Rutart, who wasn't here.
"Dad, are you sure you don't want to call Big Brother
Rutart?"
Rutart, Zora and the rest of the family were as
uncooperative as ever.
They were jealous of Nix, who took over the Olfrey
household's Earl ranking and estate.
Rutart also isn't participating in this battle. Though
that's not a problem, since only one representative is
needed from each house.
But if my father was to die, the Bartford family would
be finished.
If Rutart, who is unable to manage our domain
effectively, takes over, it could spell the end for the
Bartford family.
Nix didn't hide his hope that Rutart would die before
dad.
Let's tease him a bit~
"Nix is quite an extremist. You didn't plan to kill
Rutart yourself on the battlefield to prevent him from
inheriting right~?" (TN: He means this as a joke.)
Page #60
Nix wrinkles his brow at my attitude, but quickly

averts his gaze. (TN: Nix's attitude suggests he was
actually going to do it.)
—Hey, you didn't, right?
Retracting his gaze, Nix says he's going to tell me
everything. As long as I don't tell anyone else of
course.
"Dorothea's vassals investigated the situation, to find
one of Zora family's weaknesses and keep them from
messing with us."
Zora's family want to get rid of Nix so they can inherit
the Earl estate and rank. (TN: The author didn't
deliberate on how Nix dying meant they could inherit
it, but my guess is that after Nix [the second oldest
son] dies, it would go to Rutart [the oldest].)
In order to prevent them from doing anything,
Dorothea sister-in-law has been working hard. Real
nobles are amazing.
"Doesn't Zora have a paramour? Supposedly, he looks
like Rutart, blonde hair, blue eyes. Nothing like us."
Unlike us, who are dark haired, my brother and sister,
Rutart and Merce are blonde and have blue eyes.
My father probably noticed, since he doesn't seem
surprised.
"Don't worry about it. On the battlefield, you don't
have time to worry about others."
"Are you sure? If Rutart takes over, the territory will
be a big mess."
Nix seems to be worried about our home town.
Page #61
"Even if Rutart does die, if Merce takes a husband he

will inherit the territory anyways. Besides, he's not
coming."
Father has tried to talk to Rutart, but he just wants to
live like an aristocrat. In luxury without caring for
anything else.
I'm surprised this country hasn't ended yet.
"As long as Leon and Nix are alive, the blood of
Bartford will continue to live."
Me and Nix go silent. My dad, embarrassed, tries to
break the ice by telling us about the history of the
Bartford family.
"Yeah, I didn't tell you about our ancestors."
"I've heard about how they accumulated war merits."
But my dad shakes his head.
"No, they were former adventurers."
I question the validity of that statement.
"What? We're not accomplished adventurers, though.
Wouldn't you brag about your origins if your ancestors
were adventurers?"
The Kingdom of Holfort was founded by adventurers.
For this reason, the social status of adventurers is
high. Even the nobles admire adventurers.
If your ancestors were adventurers, that's a story to
be proud of.
"Don't tell me. They were betrayed by everyone and
were forced into poverty. I don't want to hear more.
Wouldn't that be dangerous?"
Nix is having second thoughts.
Page #62
"Well, I can't tell you in the first place. Let's just say
that our ancestors were tricked. After that, they
decided to get some territory on the countryside and
live a slow life."
—I understand how your ancestors felt.
I'd rather be a farmer than a hero.
"I feel like I'd get along with those old men well."
Nix looks at me like I'm an idiot.
"What was our ancestors' name?"
"[Lea], [Lea Bartford]"
—Is that true? I didn't think we'd be able to connect
so soon.
Page #63
Part 13
The fleet of the Principality of Vanoss was

approaching the Kingdom.
Inside the flagship, Hertrude and Bandel were
conversing.
They were alone, since Bandel and Hertrude were
high-ranking—and intimidating individuals.
Hertrude was more than a little nervous in front of
Bandel, who'd been protecting her since she was a
child.
"What can I do for you? Aren't you busy with
preparations?"
Not wanting Bandel to realize that she knew of how
her parents died, her question was colder than usual.
Bandel however, could see through it.
"I must apologize to the princess. —About your late
Majesty and Queen."
Hertrude wanted to stop her questioning there, but
the emotions inside her were too fierce.
"Why?! Why did a knight as good as you allow them to
your lord?!"
"So you knew…"
"Huh?!"
Hertrude got flustered after she realized what she
just did. Bandel meanwhile, looked sad.
Page #64
He knelt in front of Hertrude.

"I will make up for this by offering my life. If you let
this old man fight, then I will put my life on the line. I
know this is unbearable for you, Master Hertrude. But
it wouldn't be wise to kill me."
Hertrude can't give the order to kill him. If she did,
someone else might interfere.
But most importantly, she's been with Bandel since
her childhood. Her emotions were getting in the way.
"Let me ask you this. Why did you let them die?"
"For revenge."
When Bandel looked up, his face was twisted in anger.
Once he realized Hertrude was horrified he quickly
reverted it into normal.
"I can't forgive the Kingdom, the Kingdom who killed
my family before my eyes. I have decided that I would
definitely destroy the Kingdom, for their sake."
Bandel's family has been killed by the kingdom's army
that invaded in the past. For this reason, he remained
quiet, knowing that Hertrude's parents were going to
be assassinated. (TN: Probably because they opposed
war.)
"I tried to persuade the two many times, yet they
wouldn't change their minds."
"Of course! How much of a difference in military
power do you think there is? We definitely wouldn't
win. Not to mention the fact that they didn't attack
first."
Page #65
The beginning of the hostile relationship between the

Kingdom and the Principality was the fault of
Principality.
In the past, the Principality was a Grand Principality
under the control of the Kingdom.
Such a Grand Principality attacked the Kingdom.
"I still see them in my dreams at night! The image of
my wife and child who died in front of my eyes! Were
my child and wife guilty of something, your highness?"
"The Kingdom too has had such people die Bandel, no
more—"
"Yes. I understand, but I still hate the Kingdom that
took my wife and children from me. I must send as
many of them to hell as possible with my own hands,
or else I won't be satisfied."
In the face of Bandel's strong vengeance, Hertrude
gives up.
Bandel swears to Hertrude.
"As long as I have my life, I will protect the
princesses. It is my way of making amends."
Hertrude, who is a princess in nothing but name, can't
do anything about Bandel.
"—Do as you please."
Hertrude sits down on the floor as Bandel leaves.
I can't stop this war, not matter how much I dirty my
fingers.
"So I'll end up leaving Hertrauda alone in this world."
Page #66
Hertrude hopes that her sister, who is not here, will

survive.
Page #67
Part 14
It was shortly after dawn when they ran onto the

Bridge of Partner.
Alarms sounded throughout the ship, waking everyone
up.
The robots working on Partner were also scurrying
around.
When I came to the bridge, a large monitor showed
the approaching airships with the emblem of the
Principality of Vanoss on them.
"Two hundred ships. That's a lot more than I thought."
There are three hundred ships on our side. It's a
mixed fleet of both the Duke of Redgrave and the
regular army.
Right now, they are in the process of forming up in
the rear.
"We've taken their trump card, but it's still going to be
war."
I want to question the Principality about why they
don't want to avoid the war. But there are so many
irregularities that I don't even think it's a problem on
their side.
In the game, the regular army that was sent to
exterminate the air rebels was in the same form, but
they were late to the party against the Principality.
Is it really a coincidence that the same trend as in the
game was created?
Page #68
The friendly airships around us were moving in a

hurry, and there was a flurry of noisy
communications.
I was about to take a seat in the captains' seat when
Marie came in.
She was hugging a pillow, perhaps sleep-deprived,
and her hair was a mess.
"The enemy's attacking?!"
"Calm down. The enemy only just arrived. Now go get
dressed."
After Marie realized what she was wearing, she rushed
out. Turing my head, I lay my eyesight on the sky
where hundreds of airships were gathered.
"It was spectacular in the game, but in real life more
so."
The allied airships were ordered to stand in formation
by the Redgrave family. The enemy mirror our
formation.
The cannons have a short firing range.
We use cannons lined up on the sides so that when
we fight, our ship's (TN: he's talking about naval ships)
bow doesn't need to face theirs.
However, we're in an airship.
It's extremely tricky to rotate up and down, let alone
left and right.
Both sides formed up while ascending, but some of
the airships were unable to keep up.
Page #69
Some of them had poor maneuverability and ended up

clashing with others.
"This is no good."
When the crew of an airship doesn't even train on a
regular basis, this is about as good as it gets. Some
houses take their training seriously, while others
don't.
Thanks to this the level of skill is uneven. The airships
with good movements are moving with the ones with
poor movements, making all of them look bad.
Individually, there are some excellent ships on the
Kingdom's side, but taken as a whole, the Principality
wins.
The Duke of Redgrave will be dragged down by their
surroundings.
In contrast to the nobles' current army, the
Principality's army is a regular army that has been
trained regularly.
Their moves were flawless, with no motion wasted.
When Marie returned, she had Daniel and Raymond
behind her. Both of them had an impatient look on
their face.
Marie was surprised by the Principality.
"Geez! They got the upper hand!"
Even Marie seemed to understand. Gaining the
initiative was important in battle. But their forces are
still outnumbered.
Page #70
Daniel is frustrated by the lack of skill on our side.

Suddenly, one of our ships ignored his orders to form
up and moved forward.
A terrible voice came from the communicator.
"I am Viscount Beaudon Allen! I'm enough to defeat
the cowards in the Principality's army!"
Daniel became flustered as he saw the airship of
Allen charge at the enemy. He shouted at him, but
Allen couldn't hear.
"Allen? He's Alan's brother. He is the second son, I
believe. I heard he graduated last year. Why is he on
that trashy ship."
The movement of the ship is terrible.
Alan's brother, who was in His Highness's volunteer
army, charged forward in a luxurious looking ship. Is
no one going to stop him?
Once within range, flashy armors came off the deck of
the ship and charged towards the Principality's army.
But the moment they entered the cannon range of the
Principality's airships, the cannons' started firing.
Even if their accuracy is low, if you shoot enough,
they're bound to hit once.
Allen's ship deployed a magic barrier—but it was
overwhelmed. The airship was battered and was on
fire.
Through the communicator came the voice of a
confused Allen.
"Why is no one coming?! I need assistance! I'm a
baron!"
Page #71
These types of people are born sometimes.

A child born to nobility who is arrogant is taken as
standard. You can fix these types of people in the
academy to a certain extent, but even if they learn to
be polite to the nobles, they will still look down on
the commoners. This attitude seems to be prevalent
in the Beaudon family.
"Help! Duke of Redgrave! Please hel—"
As the airship exploded, Allen's voice was cut off.
Marie was blue-faced and trembling.
"Ugh, you liar. I can't believe you died so easily."
He may have had heroic aspirations, but he was still a
nuisance. The army doesn't need such people.
He'd never been in battle before, yet he still wanted
to take out an airship with his flashy one.
Now the pieces of his airship were scattered among
the battlefield.
From the communicators you could hear voices
blaming and defending the Duke.
"Why didn't you save him! The duke is using us like
pawns!"
"It's that kid that jumped out!"
"That doesn't mean you should leave a brave young
man to die!"
All I can say is 'terrible'.
In that otome game, there's an event where the Duke
of Redgrave loses a battle against the Principality.
Page #72
After they blundered the battle away, the protagonists

began to take action.
The detail of the battle were not told in detail.
But if what he was witnessing happened in reality, it
would be hard to blame the Duke.
"Leon, the enemy is coming!"
I look forward in silence as Marie grabbed my arms.
I was expecting the worst, but the battle was going as
it should.
Suddenly, the enemy I least wanted to see, was
attacking my allies.
The guy was a full size larger than the armor around
him, and he was slashing at airships with a great
sword. It slashed through the hull of an airship, then
went inside to destroy it completely.
The airship, broken, fell down from the sky.
"It's the black knight! The black knight is out!"
The allies, scared by the armor, were trying to
distance themselves from the Black Knight, Bandel.
Some of the airships collided with each other and
some were even falling.
Daniel shook his head forcefully.
"If we go near him, we're finished, aren't we?"
The strongest knight in the land. The enemy of the
Kingdom. The tyrant of the battlefield. That black
knight was attacking Leon's allies.
While the allies were dealing with the Black Knight,
the enemy ships began bombarding them.
Page #73
Raymond understood what was going to happen after

this.
"Leon, let's retreat. We'll lose if we don't."
I'd like to retreat too, but if we retreated, we'd suffer
punishment. It would be lighter than the regular army
because we're only volunteers, but it's still a
punishment.
"It's the other way around. Partner, move forward."
"Huh?!"
The look on Daniel's face said, "What the hell is this
guy talking about."
But I was serious. Partner's performance is way above
the others in this battlefield.
"Don't look down on partner's barriers and armor."
(TN: The armor here is referring to protective plating
on the ship. Not the knights)
As partner pushed forward, shells come flying at it.
The barrier around him however, repelled them. The
barrier around Partner was impervious to the
Principality's shells.
Even though it was under concentrated fire, Partner
continued to float.
Seeing this, Raymond adjusted his glasses.
"Great! Great job, Leon! This way, our allies can
reform their formation!"
My allies regrouped behind Partner and fixed their
formation—I had envisioned such a thing, but reality
doesn't seem to be that sweet.
Page #74
Marie held both her cheeks and shouted.

"They're leaving!"
Some of the nobles fled, judging they were losing.
They turned and fled, using Partner as a decoy.
"It's worse than I imagined."
With even the advantage in numbers gone, Marie
sticks her head to the window.
"There's a black armor coming here!"
The black knight must have decided that Partner was
a threat. But he's too naïve, defeating Partner's barrier
is impossible.
"No matter how good a knight he is, Partner—eh?"
As the Black Knight slashed at Partner, the area he
attacked was emitting a fierce light. The area seemed
to be cracking
"Official cheats are the worst, aren't they?"
Daniel and Raymond were confused by my words,
while Marie was shaking with a blue face.
This had gotten out of control, so I got up and started
to walk to the hangar—then I saw the armor charging
at the black knight. I examined it and once I realize
who's it was, my eyes widened.
"What are you doing, dad?!"
Page #75
Part 15
When the Black Knight attacked the airship, an armor

appeared to intervene.
The armor wasn't flashy, and looked plain.
However, it was well-maintained.
The rider's skills weren't bad either.
"So there is a skilled a rider here. But with that level
of skill—"
Bandel swung his great sword down at his opponent,
who was supposed to be blown away.
But the opponent managed to hold on, despite the
numerous slashes he received.
Each slash was the personification of Bandel's anger.
"Your sword arm, and piloting skills! I'm better than
you in all of them! You know why? Because of my
hatred for you!"
As he made contact with the other man, he heard a
voice.
"My son is on board that ship. I won't let you drop
that ship!"
Hearing this Bandel's eyes narrowed and he laughed.
"So you have your son on board that ship—if that's
the case!"
Bandel's great sword slashed off the opponents limbs.
Bandel then grabbed his head.
Page #76
"Hey! What are you doing?!"

Hearing his enemy's panicked voice, Bandel bore his
white teeth.
"You will suffer as I did! I'll show you how it feels to
have your child killed right in front of you!"
The great sword that Bandel's armor is holding is
made of adamantis. It is a lost item prepared just for
him.
It is the only technology able to break Partners'
barriers, since it's a new technology with no
countermeasures.
"No matter how much you struggle, this battle was
meant to be won by the Principality from the start!"
As he said this, Bandel was repeatedly slashing the
barrier, attempting to break it.
"You! Stop! Leon, run!"
Bandel laughed out loud at his opponent's scream.
"Yes, shout! That cry will heal my heart!"
Bandel recalls the scene he saw that day.
Bandel was on a mission to intercept the Royal Army
that was attacking the Principality' capital when he
saw his house destroyed.
He saw the armor of the Royal Army smashing
through his house and reaching out to his family
inside.
He rushed towards the house, but he couldn't get
there in time, and his family died before Bandel's
eyes.
Page #77
"My wife was a good woman! A good woman who

didn't deserve that fate! She was so young too! She
even sacrificed herself for our daughter, yet you!"
Bandel began to cry; his mind unstable.
"For the sake of my family I—I even took away the
princesses' parents. I can't stop now. I will only stop
when I kill every last one of you."
As the barrier shattered, an armor came out.
"Let go of my father!"
"Nix, you better run!"
Apparently, a different son came.
Seeing this, Bandel made a strong decision.
"I will kill both of your sons! And make you feel as I
did!"
"Huh!"
The enemy, with a missing limb, desperately tried to
resist, and stand in Bandels way.
"You outcasts of the Kingdom! You all are going to
hel—"
—Before he could finish, Bandel's army shook
violently.
"Guh!"
As he turned around, he saw a much larger gray armor
there. As it swung its blade towards Bandel, he caught
it with his great sword.
"What?!"
Page #78
Bandel was surprised by the opponent's strength. It

seems that the one riding there is also the son of that
man he captured.
"I would have preferred to save the princess. I don't
have a preference for old men!" (TN: He's probably
saying he'd rather save Hertrude than the Bandel.)
He looked like a light-hearted fellow.
"It's the same thing one after the other! No amount of
cutting will break my armor!"
I've defeated numerous enemies in the past.
Yet, the number of enemies of the principality never
decreases. One after another, they appear and try to
defeat the Principality.
The new armor holds up its sword.
"Old man, it's time for the new generation to shine.
Retire!"
"Keep your mouth shut, kid!"
He threw down the armor he was holding (Barcus),
but another armor (Nicks) caught it. Bandel ignored
the large armor (Leon) coming at him to dispose of
the other (Nicks) first. But the large armor (Leon)
closed in on him. (TN: This line was quite confusing.
I'm not sure if I did it right. The author didn't put the
armor riders' names.)
"I won't let you get away, old man!"
He must be quite powerful.
With that thought, a new ambition came to Bandels'
mind.
Page #79
To kill all the powerful knights growing up in the

Kingdom.
"I'll start with you!"
Page #80
Part 16
Leon was riding in Arroganz, trying to defeat Bandel.

"What the hell is this guy really?!"
—I'm surprised at how strong he is.
In front of Arroganz, who can't help but be called a
cheat, the Black Knight was holding a equal—no, more
than an equal fight.
I'm the one being pushed back.
The hard armor of Arroganz is being chipped away by
his great sword. I'm attacking too, but he avoids my
attacks with his maneuverability.
"Isn't this guy's very existence a cheat?"
When Arroganz's blade caught Bandel's great sword, it
shattered.
Leon hurriedly got out of range and took out his rifle.
But the Black Knight moved too fast to be hit.
Arroganz tried to make the calculations, but the Black
Knight was too fast.
"I don't understand."
Even Arroganz is confused as he deals with the Black
Knight.
"I agree with that opinion, but we can't stop here!"
We're flying in a battlefield.
The Kingdom's army is fighting the Principality, but
they're outnumbered.
Page #81
I want to help them, but I can't take my attention off

the Black Knight.
Partner is preventing other airships from interfering in
our battle.
"This would have been a close call if I was alone."
I can't stop sweating. I was right to bring friends with
me.
"Sure, you're a bit skilled. But without that armor,
you're no match for me!"
As he closed the distance, I shot at him. But he
dodged the bullet and slashed at me.
I quickly blocked it with my rifle, but it was cut in
half.
"Arroganz, missile!"
"Missiles launched."
Missiles are fired one after another from the container
on Arroganz, attacking the Black Knight. The Black
Knight, who is chasing after the backward-flying
Arroganz, must have never seen the missiles that are
attacking him before.
He cuts them with his great sword and charges
through the explosion.
"You overpowered bastard!"
That strength is bullshit. I'm also overpowered, but
it's crazy that I still can't win.
The black knight closes the distance and one of

Arroganz's arms is slashed off.
Page #82
"Die, kid!"
In front of the black knight who stabbed the big
sword into the cockpit, I was prepared to die.
I was feeling pathetic at the stupefying end even
though I had Arroganz—.
"Oooh!"
It was my dad who shouted out loud and charged the
me with his limbless armor. The black knight lost his
stance to the surprised and the great sword missed
me.
But the great sword stabbed into the armor (his dad's)
cockpit. He leaned to the left to dodge it but it seems
he was still injured.
I'm wounded in the right half of my face by the Great
Sword and some parts of Arroganz are broken too,
and I can't see what's going on outside because the
monitor is smashed.
Arroganz seemed to automatically keep his distance
from the black knight, so there was no chase.
I heard my dad's voice. "Why didn't you run?"
I purged the hatch and looked outside; I could see my
father's armor pierced by a large sword.
"—Dad!"
Page #83
As I shouted, the black knight slowly turned to me

and threw away the armor that my dad rode on with a
swing of his great sword.
"How does it feel to have your family die in front of
you?"
I hear the Black Knight's voice and grind my teeth.
"It sucks. It really sucks."
I couldn't help but hate the enemy in front of me. It
was impossible for me to control my helpless
emotions.
All I could think about was killing the Black Knight.
"That's good. I felt the same way. And killing you like
this is worth it."
I grabbed the control stick and headed towards the
Black Knight with the battered Arroganz.
But feelings alone won't fill the skill gap.
Arroganz had accumulated a lot of damage during the
last fight.
"Damn it!"
"All that's left is to kill you, sink that ship and be done
with it. The Royal Army won't be able to stop us."
Partner has my friends and—Marie on board.
"It's not going to be that easy!"
The black knight's movements slowed down as he
charged at Arroganz, ready to strike me. It was Nix's
tattered armor that jumped on him from behind.
"Leon, do it!"
Page #84
The black knight clicked his tongue and roughly

slapped Nix's armor away.
"Don't get in the way!"
Nix was blown away immediately, but it took the
Black Knights concentration away for a moment.
Thanks to that, Arroganz was able to close the
distance.
The black knight stabbed the great sword at Arroganz
as he charged at him. He forcefully avoids the great
sword that is approaching the cockpit.
I'm convinced of victory when he pierces Arroganz's
legs and tries to pull the sword out.
"If you were going to aim for me, you should have
made it to the cockpit!"
With his remaining arm, Arroganz struck the Black
Knight's cockpit.
A fist pierced the black knight's armor, and Arroganz
transmitted a voice message.
"—Impact."
At the same time as he said it, he slammed the
impact (TN: I'm guessing 'impact' is some kind of
special move.) into the Black Knight's interior. Then,
the Black Knight's armor bobbed up and down from
inside and exploded as it was.
Limbs are blown off and the great sword also falls.
From the cockpit part that barely remains, the voice
of the black knight who is about to die can be heard
from the cockpit part.
"I'm sorry—Princess.
Page #85
The black knight's armor, which discharged with a

buzz, exploded in the air as Arroganz threw it away.
"Oh, it's done."
The tension released and I took several deep breaths.
Sweat gushes out and I'm relieved to realize that I'm
alive.
The reactions of those around me who saw the falling
black knight were mixed.
The Principality's troops were saddened, and the
allied Kingdom troops cheered.
"That's right. My father! Arroganz, find my dad!"
He immediately goes to find his dad, but Nix has
retrieved his dad's armor first. I blame Nix in front of
him.
"Why did you make me charge my dad!"
"My dad jumped out at me! And you would be dead if
it weren't for me! —Dad is the only reason you're still
alive."
Nix's voice sounds like he's about to cry. Nix's armor
hugged the armor that had been pierced through the
cockpit.
I couldn't speak either, and I turned over.
"I could have been faster—"
I was just about to regret it when I heard my dad's
voice.
"Ka, don't judge me dead without checking."
When I looked up, Nix let out a surprised voice.
Page #86
"Dad, you're alive!"

"Yeah, so get me to a doctor quickly."
Nix and I left the battlefield, where the Principality
was in trouble this time after the Black Knight was
defeated.
Page #87
Part 17
In the royal capital of the kingdom of Holfort, the

victory of the kingdom's army had been reported.
The royal capital was in a festive mood, but in a room
in the royal palace, the Marquis of Frampton had a
bitter look on his face.
Originally, he had planned to have the Royal Army led
by the Duke of Redgrave's family be defeated. That
was why he had sent in the incompetent nobles.
Not to mention his political enemies, he had planned
to dispose of all the useless nobles and his enemies
together.
That was why the Principality won (In the original
otome game).
"The Black Knight is getting old. How pathetic; to be
defeated by a student."
The people who took out the attackers were related
to the Bartford family, one of whom was a student.
Although the three of them had to team up, the
defeat of the Black Knight is good news for the
kingdom.
Rumors quickly spread, and the reputation of the
Baldfalt family is growing even within the royal court.
Among others, Nix's wife Dorothea's family—the
Roseblade family—was happily mentioning their
activities.
This was not amusing to the Marquis of Frampton.
Page #88
"I guess I expected too much from the useless the

Principality."
With the exasperated Marquis of Frampton was Olivia,
sitting on the sofa, smiling.
She held a glass in one hand.
"It's a pity this happened. But Julius also played an
active role, so let's let it go this time. Besides, the
Duke of Redgrave's family will be in trouble for a
while."
Due to a fierce battle with the Principality, the airship
on which the head of the Redgrave family was riding
was also hit.
The head of the family, Vince, was also injured in the
battle.
As he is unable to move for a while, his son takes his
place. However, the son has probably been injured as
well.
Although the plan has been somewhat derailed, Olivia
and the others' victory is unchanged.
"Originally, it was supposed to be a spectacular debut
match for the Saint."
"I don't mind. More importantly, how is the captured
Duchess doing?"
At Olivia's words, the Marquis of Frampton replied
immediately.
"She knows too much of the unnecessary. Let her
meet her royal end. She would rather die than be
captured by the enemy and be a liability to her
country." (TN: The Marquis probably allied with the
Page #89
duchess (Hertrude). For this reason, if the Kingdom

were to get their hands on Hertrude and she
confessed, the Marquis would be in trouble. So here,
he's detailing the excuse for her death, suicide, when
actually it's murder.)
Olivia smiles when she hears this.
"How scary."
Page #90
Part 18
Angelica, the daughter of the Redgrave family, was

visiting the office of her brother Gilbert, who is acting
as head of the family due to his father's injury.
The reason was a protest against the treatment of
Hertrude, an enemy princess captured by the Duke
and Duchess of Redgrave.
"Brother, why? It was father who took Hertrude
captive. And yet, what is the royal court thinking of by
ostracizing the Redgrave family?"
Angelica's frustration is that the Redgrave family, who
have served in the war, are despised by the royal
court.
And the one person Angelica couldn't forgive- Olivia.
"What on earth is His Highness Julius also thinking?
Not only did he lead a volunteer army to participate in
the war, but he even took that woman with him to
show his friendship."
Gilbert let out a small sigh as Angelica expressed her
frustration in front of her brother. Gilbert is busy
these days, and he understands what Angelica wants
to say.
But he tells her that the Redgrave family cannot get
involved.
"Now that your father is absent, I'm very busy. The
truth is that I can't even get involved in the affairs of
the royal court."
"But!"
Page #91
"The matter of His Highness Hertrude doesn't make

me happy here either. The Marquis of Frampton
seems to want His Highness Hertrude to be dead."
"Aren't we supposed to be negotiating?"
Angelica is suspicious when she hears that they have
the enemy's royalty and won't use it for negotiations.
"We could have them prepare a huge ransom from the
Principality for the return of Hertrude, and we have
other uses for her."
She doesn't understand why they don't do that and
try to make her a deceased person.
"Because thanks to His Highness Julius, His Highness'
faction has lost its power. We're out of the mosquito
net."
Even Gilbert couldn't seem to determine what was
going on in the royal palace.
Angelica clasped her hands together.
"I will speak with His Highness Julius."
Gilbert shook his head at Angier's offer.
"Brother?"
"-The details of the royal court are not known to me,
but Prince Julius is thinking of calling off your
engagement. The news has come to me."
"What!?"
Angelica is upset when she hears that Julius is
thinking of breaking off the engagement.
"Why? What did I do wrong?—"
Page #92
Angelica was furious, but Gilbert silenced her with a

sharp look in response.
"It's all your fault. Why didn't you stop His Highness
Julius? The same goes for your behavior on campus.
What the hell were you doing while you were by his
side?"
When Julius led the volunteer army to join them, his
fiancée Angelica's family home had not received any
news.
And due to the actions of Julius and the others so far,
the power of the faction of the Redgrave family has
been reduced considerably.
Angelica looks down.
"I have tried to stop him many times, but my voice
can't reach His Highness Julius."
Angelica speaks in frustration.
Gilbert, who is busy, can't deal with this situation
right now.
"If you'd kept a better eye on her, then this would
never have happened."
Angelica bit her lower lip as her brother, Gilbert,
rebuked her.
If only that woman hadn't been there.
Angelica decides to take action.
Page #93
Part 19
Angelica heads to the mansion where Hertrude is

being held captive.
Although she was part of the war, Hertrude, who is
royalty, can't be put in prison.
When Angelica enters this mansion, the Knights
guarding it stop her.
"I'm sorry. We've been ordered to not let anyone
pass."
"It's the Redgrave family who captured her. Shouldn't
we be allowed a visit? Besides, I've got the palace's
permission."
When Angelica showed the Knights the permission
slip, they reluctantly let her through.
Once she was in Hertrude's room, she dismissed the
Knights, saying she wanted to talk to her alone.
The room was well-furnished, and didn't look like a
prison.
However, there were iron bars installed on the
windows. (TN: No suicide prevention measures?)
"It's been a long time, Your Highness Hertrude."
When Angelica called out to her, Hertrude sat down in
her chair gave her a quiet look.
"Let's make this short. Why did the Principality invade
the Kingdom? Considering the power difference, it's
nothing but a bad move."
Page #94
In this world of war, the side with the initiative has

the advantage.
But no matter how quick the Principality is, the
difference in power would still be too large to make
up.
In most fights, you can see the outcome.
Hertrude looked pale and weak.
"—The Kingdom still doesn't know about that."
"That?"
"It's nothing."
Hertrude examined Angelica's appearance—and made
some conditions.
"I need you to promise me one thing—no, two if you
can."
"I'm not strong enough to grant your wishes."
"That's okay. You need only do it if you can. Firstly, I
need you to keep Hertrauda safe."
She wants her sister to survive, but Angelica isn't
going to be able to grant that wish.
"I don't think I can make that happen."
"I'm sure you're right. The power of the Redgrave
family has fallen."
"You seem to know a lot about the palace."
Angelica knows there are people in the Royal Palace
connected to the Principality. Those people would sell
information too.
However, Hertrude's next words surprised her.
Page #95
"Because the reason the Principality invaded was

because of an order from the Kingdom."
"What are you talking about?"
"It was a noble from the Kingdom who requested the
Principality to go to war. You know the Marquis of
Frampton, don't you? He's behind it."
"Stupid."
"If you don't believe me, that's fine. Just consider my
words bullshit and forget them."
Why would the people of the Kingdom let the
Principality invade? After pondering, Angelica came to
the answer.
Many of the people fighting against the Principality
were either hostile to or estranged from the Marquis
of Frampton. The nobles who were friends of the
Marquis were having trouble participating.
Were they really going to be discarded?
Angelica was mad at the Marquis' methods. She didn't
like the way he used and buried his enemies.
"I knew from the start we couldn't win. I knew from
the beginning we couldn't win. But I couldn't stop
them. I had no power to stop them."
Seeing Hertrude cry, Angelica asks:
"What's your second wish?"
"I want you to tell my sister—that I loved her. I really
wanted to write to her, but I wasn't allowed to."
With those words, Angelica understands.
Does he want her dead so she doesn't talk?
Page #96
"I'll do what I can, as long as I can."

"Thank you, Angelica."
Averting her gaze from Hertrude, who looks dead,
Angelica heads outside—
—In order to inform the Queen.
Page #97
Part 20
The royal palace was busy with post-war activities.

I was returning home to my parents' territory because
of my injuries.
The right side of my injured face was fortunately
unharmed, but the wound was to remain. I was
supposed to have lost my eyesight as well, so if I
could only get away with this level of injury, I'd be
happy.
It's an admirable victory, even if we had to join up to
beat the Black Knight.
It's probably too light a price to pay. (TN: He's talking
about his eye.)
Standing in front of the mirror in my room, I cover the
right side of my injured face with a cloth.
The eye patch would probably be there forever, but
I've prepared a cloth to cover my cheek and eyes
temporarily.
However, my eyesight has already been restored,
though the injury is still there.
Standing beside the mirror, I look at my current
appearance and give a nod.
Beside me, who is satisfied, Luxion is not happy. The
reason he is unhappy is because I'm keeping the
injury. He said he could treat me, without leaving a
scar.
"Are you hiding your face because you're not confident
in your appearance?"
Page #98
As soon as he comes back, he says something like

this…
"Boys love their eye patch." (TN: Am boy, can't
confirm.)
"I understand it's to cover your scar. But I can treat
it."
"Unfortunately, a lot of people have seen me with this
injury. If I go out without it, they would definitely be
suspicious. It's best to leave it be."
The reason I'm going through this trouble is because I
saw a doctor already. They know about my injury.
But if I go back saying I'm fully recovered; they'll be
wary of me.
That's what I'm trying to avoid.
"If you'd been there, this would have never happened
in the first place."
"That's a lie. Master would not have been serious
against the Principality even with me present. At
worst, you would try to cut corners and be beaten to
a pulp by the Black Knight."
I was having a conversation with Luxion for the first
time in a while when Marie interrupted.
"Leon, Clarice-senpai wants to talk to you about
something."
"She wants to talk?"
Before Leon knew it, Luxion had disappeared.
Page #99
Clarice Fia Atley, the countess of a count family

whom I had previously rescued at the request of my
master, is secretly hiding at my floating island.
The same goes for her cronies.
Before Marie could respond to my question, Clarice-
senpai showed her face from behind.
"I heard you were injured, so I came to check up on
you."
There was only one male crony waiting behind Clarice
senior. It seems that they came here from the floating
island that I own.
They probably want to hear the current situation from
me directly.
''It's been a while, both of you. How have you been
doing?
On the contrary, they were both dismayed to see me
worrying about them. They have the attitude that I
should be worried about myself, not them.
Clarice-senpai shrugged her shoulders.
"You're the one who's in more trouble than I am. 'I
heard you were hurt. Besides, didn't you say that Lord
Barcus, who is sheltering us, was also badly injured?
Is he okay?"
My father was badly injured and is still in the hospital
in the Capital.
Mum went to the Capital to take care of him.
Thanks to that, the mansion is quiet.
Page #100
''He's fine. But he won't be able to move for a while,

though.
"So you're going to substitute for him? Nix-senpai is
too busy with the Earl to take care of his family
home."
My dad and I were injured and couldn't move, so Nix
was supposed to move around for the ceremony and
all that. I was able to take it easy because of that.
I admire my brother for sticking up for his brother
who was badly injured even when I could have treated
my injuries and such right away.
But I don't want to stand out from the crowd.
"It's the country, you know. I can handle it."
"Don't get too comfortable. It's at times like these
that house fights occur." (TN: The meaning of 'house
fights' is basically a civil war between the family.)
Clarice-senpai, a court nobleman living in the royal
capital, seems to think that the country and the city
are the same. Like it or not, who would want this
land? The relatives who knew the value of this land
wouldn't care.
"Who would want to manage a fief like this—"
Just as he thought Clarice-senpai was being too
mindful, his brother Colin came running in.
''Brother Leon! The wife is here!"
"What—?"
Zola and her family came to the territory where his
father and mother were absent.
Page #101
Part 21
I was assigned to answer Zola's call, and I come to

the parlor with Marie.
The servants working in the mansion were frightened
when Zola and the others showed up.
They're not usually present in the mansion, but
they're high-handed and have a bad reputation.
Zola—the wife who is my father's real wife, but she
usually lives in the royal capital. She rarely goes out
to the countryside, but when she comes, she always
brings trouble with her.
She is dressed in a fancy dress, and Merce, who is
sitting on the sofa near her, is also very well dressed.
She was dressed twenty percent more than usual,
and her attitude was huge as usual.
But this time, even Rutart is dressed up, which is a
surprise.
He looked victorious in front of me.
"You look hapless."
"Wounds are a decoration, my brother."
"Yeah, you're all talk."
Since he was acting sarcastic, I talked back
immediately, but Rutart doesn't lose his bullish
attitude, as if he judged my words to be a sore loser.
Only to have Marie blurted out next to me.
Page #102
"You ran away from the battlefield and didn't even

join in, though. For the most part, you're too much of
a coward to even refuse to enter the territory."
"Ugh!"
Rutart looked regretful in front of Marie, but he
couldn't say anything back since she's a noble.
Instead he attacks me
''You let the girls say what they want to say and you
shut your mouth? It's hard to think that this is my
brother. More importantly, I can't wait for you to get
out of this mansion."
Marie's eyes widen in surprise as she looks at me. —
I'm also surprised.
"—What?"
Rutart told us to leave, and it was Zola who aided
him.
"If Barcus is injured and unable to do the work of the
head of the family, then we must have a replacement.
Rutart is the right person to take his place. In
addition, I'll have him replaced, so from today
onwards the mansion belongs to Rutart."
You've never looked at us before, and now you
suddenly want us to give you our position and
territory? To begin with, my father is firmly in the
consciousness of his father.
How is he going to stop them?
"This is very sudden. Please wait for me to check with
my father."
Page #103
Basically, 'Go home!'. But on paper, Zola and her

family are in a higher position (of inheritance) than
me. Even if they don't have my father's blood in their
veins.
Merce interrupts our conversation.
"You don't need to consult him. It's a royal decision."
The palace? Why is the royal court going out of its
way to make a move for a frontier baronial family?
Why is the royal palace, which has been treating them
like lowlife until now, suddenly intervening?
Zola proudly shows me the letter.
"It's a letter from the royal court. 'Rutart is fit to be
the new heir of House Bartford. When Rutart becomes
head of the family, your other brothers and sisters
will not be needed.' Now get out of here."
I got the impression that they were in a great hurry,
even if they were to replace him and Rutart became
the head of the family. It's as if they want to get rid of
us quickly.
Marie stuck to Zola.
"I don't agree with you! Why does that guy deserve in
the first place? You're not going to be in the field of
battle, and you can't even do the estate work. Are you
sure you're serious about this, Rutart? Didn't you hate
the countryside?"
Then Rutart reveals his true feelings.
''The Bartford family can join a prestigious family after
defeating the Black Knight. And yet, when the head of
the family is an old, country-looking man, doesn't it
Page #104
make you embarassed? I grew up in the city, and I'm

the one who deserves to be the head of the Bartford
family today.
I looked at Rutart, who was smiling darkly and puffing
out his chest, and was relieved to know that he didn't
think anything of the territory.
Also, you take us too lightly.
This guy is a colossal fool for telling us about their
situation.
However, if they have permission from the royal
palace, I can't do anything about it.
I couldn't even think of meddling until now.
Merce looks at her manicured nails.
"That's what I mean. You guys have to get out of here.
It's Rutart who lives here."
It was Marie who was offended by this attitude.
"Why should we give it to you guys! Father-in-law is
alive and well! You have to get his permission!"
I noticed the fan on Zora's mouth. It hid a grin.
"We don't need that man's permission. The royal
court's permission is enough for me.''
"You've got to be kidding me!"
I evacuate the room with a heated Marie.
"Let's take a short break. Marie, you come over here."
"You can't do that! Talk back to her!"
"I don't care."
I forced her out of the room.
Page #105
Page #106
Part 22
I headed to the other room and found my brother

Colin—and my sister Finley—with Clarice-senpai.
Colin looked anxious.
"Clarice-san, are they going to kick us out?"
Clarice-senpai smiles at Colin, who is worried about
being kicked out. She comforted Colin with a gentle
voice.
''It's okay. I'm sure Leon-kun will take care of it.''
"Yes."
I'm glad senior Clarice and my brother trust me, but I
personally can't do anything about it. Because if the
palace gives permission, I can't go against them
myself.
At best, the only solution I can think of is for everyone
to take refuge in the floating island I own and live as
is.
I don't want to abandon my hometown, but Rutart
was going to take over eventually. He knew that
sooner or later; this day would come.
"Mrs. Clarice says this, what do you think Marie?"
"Why do you call me that? Why do you guys not
address me with an honorific, when you call Clarice
'Miss'? Hey, why? I'm older than you!"
Finley and Colin looked at Marie, who was
unconvinced.
"Hey."
Page #107
"Yeah. Marie is family, you know."

Seeing Marie's complicated face, Clarice senior
became uncomfortable or changed the topic.
''Even so, they're being quite forceful even though the
head of the family hasn't even died. I suppose they
want the achievement of defeating the black knight,
but he himself hasn't even been to the battlefield,
right?
Rutart refused to go to war. That in itself didn't make
my dad angry because he expected it.
He didn't expect him to come out, and he didn't want
him to be deputized in the territory.
"Rutart refused and didn't participate, did he?"
He's already 20 years old. He himself doesn't work
and lives in the Capital.
Come to think of it, I've never heard of him having a
wife.
What is he doing in the Capital? It's such a tenuous
relationship that I don't even know. So we don't even
recognize each other as family, and we weren't
actually family.
Marie crossed her arms in frustration.
"Does he think you can take credit by taking away the
family name?"
Clarice-senpai answered that question immediately.
''He's not wrong. Even if he didn't participate, it's true
that Leon-kun and the rest of the team got the credit
for it. Once he inherits the house with those merits,
they have an effect on his reputation.''
Page #108
Clarice-senpai predicts the future.

''I'm concerned that they're being too forceful. I don't
know, maybe they'll take Partner from Leon. Or worse,
Leon's floating island."
I hear that and anger flares up inside of me.
"What? What's to be taken away?"
"That's why you're so desirable. That's how attractive
it is, I suppose, that most people want it, even if they
have to use forceful means. I'm sure there are a lot of
people who would like to have partner in the royal
palace, too."
I really don't want to get involved with the intentions
within the royal palace or anything like that.
It's too annoying and irritating.
Trying to take my utopia away is unforgivable.
That island holds everything I have in it.
Anyone who takes it away from me will taste my
vengeance, no matter what I have to do. The trouble
with the current situation is the Zola family.
As I was thinking, a woman entered the room we were
discussing, swinging her hair in a vertical roll.
She opens the door boldly and gives us a smile.
"How are you, Hero-dono? Oh dear, I never imagined
the Lady of Atley would be in a place like this."
The one who appeared with a white attitude was
Deirdre-senpai, Dorothea's sister-in-law's sister,
Deirdre-senpai. (TN: Yes, we get it.)
Page #109
She's graduated from the school now, but she's still

our senior.
Clarice-senpai breaks out in a cold sweat, but
Deirdre-senpai immediately turns her gaze towards
me. You don't intend to pursue it? (TN: Not sure what
the last sentence means: 追求するつもりがないのか？)
"Time is short, so I'll be quick. The Bartford family has

become embroiled in a power struggle within the
royal court."
Marie holds her head and shouts it as it is.
"It's the worst! Why would we get involved in this?!"
Deirdre-senpai laughed.
"It's only natural since you have defeated the Black
Knight who has been tormenting the kingdom for
years. The Baldfalt family's military reputation is
growing. —And there is a movement in some parts of
the royal palace to get such a Baldfalt family on their
side."
Thinking that we wanted to be left alone, Clarice
senior nipped at Deirdre-senpai's story.
''Part of it means that it's not an official decision of
the royal palace, right?"
"You're right. As to be expected of the Atley
daughter."
As me and Marie both nodded our heads, Clarice
senior explained in detail.
''Someone gave the order without permission and
those people took advantage of it. No, maybe they are
Page #110
being used. If we can target that point, we can drive

those people away."
Marie turned her gaze towards me.
"Hey, this means that they forged an official text,
right? They're not good?"
The Zola family seems to be crossing a dangerous
bridge.
Deirdre-senpai praises Marie.
"It seems like you've noticed. Yeah. There are people
in the royal palace doing dangerous things. Isn't it nice
to be related to the Roseblade family?"
That's a big help! It was worth it to sacrifice Nix! I'm
glad I played the role of Cupid, for the love of Nix and
sister-in-law Dorothea.
"I can't thank Nix enough for what he did (marry
Dorothea)"
"How can you say that when you lied to him?"
"Call me love cupid. I just brought the two together as
a perfect match."
Finley, who was listening to me, didn't like it, and
Colin is nodding his head.
Marie mutters, "You're a lousy cupid," but I ignore her
and decide to get my act together.
"So, how far is the Roseblade family willing to help
us?"
Deirdre-senpai smiled.
"—I'll be happy to support you if you take over the
house."
Page #111
"No, I have a floating island."

'Well just rule them both. Oh, and I got a message
from your brother-in-law, Nix. 'Don't think you're the
only one who can escape.' he said. Huh. Brother-in-
law Nix is very nice to prepare a territory for his
brother."
I was surprised that Nix was called brother-in-law,
but more importantly, what's the point of letting me
take over the family home? I was hoping to have a
floating island to chill on!
Colin compliments me.
"I don't understand, but you did it, brother Leon!"
This is the worst.
Fucking Nix, he forced me to manage my parents'
house.
That's a disgusting thing; to sacrifice your family!
Page #112
Part 23
Back in the parlor, Deirdre-senpai was sitting in front

of Zola and the others.
She crossed her legs and showed them a sexy
posture.
If it were only for looks, she would be considered
beautiful too.
"But still, did you think you could get away with such
a sloppy operation?''
Zola was shrinking in front of the much younger
Deirdre-senpai.
She was shrinking in front of the daughter of a Earl
House.
The same was true for Merce, and when it came to
Rutart, he was cringing.
Zola managed to let out a protest.
"This is Baron Bartford's problem. The Roseblade
family has no right to interfere."
"It's my relative's house. It's a relative's house and it
would be a disaster if something happened to them,
so we obviously offered help. But it's only those with
very strong bloodlines that can help you now, though."
It was clear Zola was annoyed.
Merce crowded Zola.
"Mother! My marriage is at stake. If I get this house, I
can marry into a court nobleman's baronial family. Do
something."
Page #113
I can't help but almost laugh because she's so goofy.

Leave it to Deirdre-senpai to handle it, and it will all
come full circle.
That being said, I'll get back at Nix someday.
What the hell was that guy thinking, forcing his cute
little brother to manage his family home?
Deirdre-senpai crossed her arms.
"You should be relieved. Your viscount family will be
disqualified."
"What?"
When Merce shows a surprised face, Deirdre-senpai
tells her with a smile.
"It's only natural since you prepared the documents
under the pretense that it was the decision of the
royal palace. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to
make it work. You should go home with an open
mind."
As Zola stands up in frustration, Deirdre-senpai stops
Rutart.
''Oh, and Rutart-dono''
"Excuse me?"
Watching Rutart go easy on Deirdree senior, it makes
me sad to see how weak he is to the girls after all
that bravado.
It's the fate of school boys.
''I heard that you stood by in your territory and didn't
move to aid the royal capital during the crisis? I can't
help but wonder if you are qualified to be a knight.
Page #114
House Roseblade questions your qualifications to the

royal court." (TN: She's talking about how he didn't
participate in the war.)
"What? What? It's none of your business! And besides,
I just didn't see the point of participating in a fight
like that!"
"The head of the family, brother-in-law Nix, and even
Lord Leon went into battle, but you, the heir, are
running away? It's an embarrassment for the warriors.
Shame on you."
Unable to speak back, Rutart leaves the room, almost
in tears.
Zola and Merce were complaining to Rutoart about it.
"Totally, if he had gone to war, this wouldn't have
happened."
"He's really useless." (TN: I wonder who made him
that way?)
I felt a bit of sympathy for Luthier's position within
the family.
Page #115
Part 24
Rutart walked through the mansion.

Every now and then, when he found a decorated jar,
he would pick it up and throw it.
"Damn! Damn it! You're making fun of me!"
The reason they didn't go to war was because they
didn't think they could win.
In fact, there was a rumor among some that the first
group would be discarded in order to crush the Duke
of Redgrave's army.
Hearing that scared him.
"It's not my fault. If it were true, I wouldn't even want
to inherit a territory like this. What I deserve is the
estate that Nix got. I was supposed to be the earl."
If only I could be an earl myself—as he was thinking
about this, he heard a voice talking.
He was about to yell in frustration, but he is surprised
to see someone in the room and closes his mouth.
(Why are those guys here!?)
The ones in the room were Marie and—Clarice.
''Senpai, am I being looked down upon? Colin, you too.
I'm your sister-in-law."
"Maybe it's because you're family."
"—Colin, you call your sister 'senior' honestly, don't
you? I can't get you two to treat me like that?"
"I'm sorry about that." (TN: They're in an argument
about the manner of speech when talking to Marie.
Page #116
Colin and the other sister talk to her casually, but

Marie wants them to treat her respectfully.)
From their conversation, Rutart realized that Leon
knew about this too. It was impossible that Marie
knew and her fiancé, Leon, did not know. (TN: No idea
what he's talking 'bout. Maybe he's gone insane. Guess
we'll find out soon.)
And this is the mansion of the Baron Bartford family.
It was obvious that Barcus also had a hand in it.
If I bring this information to the royal capital, I'll have
a chance.
Rutart was annoyed at Deirdre for saying so many
things to him, but he smiled and quietly walked away
from the front of the room as it was.
Page #117
Part 25
Zora and her family had left, and Deirdre-senpai-

senpai and Clarice-senpai were also resting in the
room they were prepared.
Since it was nighttime, me and Marie were talking
with Luxion.
''Aren't you embarrassed to dump all the work on
Deirdre-senpai? If you're a man, tell her!"
Marie was crowing at me for not telling her.
"They wouldn't be convinced by what I said.
Sometimes it doesn't matter who said it, even if it's
true. Wouldn't it be more persuasive if it was said by
an expert rather than an amateur?"
"Don't mess with me! You were never going to get in
trouble for that!"
Marie seemed to have seen through it.
It's true that it's a hassle, so I threw it all out there,
but if the result is the same anyway, it's bound to be
easier.
Luxion shook his one eye and reproduced his dismay.
"While I was away, Master was still the same as ever,
right?"
"It would have been less of a hassle if you'd been by
my side!"
"I don't think you should be driven to that point with
Partner and Arroganz. I'm sure Partner's main gun
would have kicked the Principality's troops down onto
the curb."
Page #118
He suddenly becomes quiet.

"—Maybe you didn't want to kill them?"
I let out a sigh. At first, I thought that even the Black
Knight could be left alive. However, I was too naive.
"I didn't want to get used to killing students, at least
while I was a student."
"I didn't want to, and I still regret it."
If I had been serious from the beginning—but if I had,
I would have been more notorious and more people
would have died.
"The world doesn't work the way you want it to, does
it? More importantly, what's going on with you? Can
you stay for a while?"
When I asked Luxion about his future plans, the
answer that came back was as expected.
''I was called out on short notice, so I just came back
in a hurry. I have a lot of plans for the future.''
"Is that going to take much longer? I have to ask you
something."
"What is it?"
I can't help but wonder about that grudge spirit that
shouted my ancestor's name. (TN: I haven't read the
previous Marie SS's, so I'm sorry if I don't understand
some stuff and thereby mistranslate. Any corrections
would be appreciated.)
"It's about the saint's necklace. Your remember the
grudge spirit that haunted that one? I need to talk to
it."
Page #119
''—He's quiet these days, but if Master comes in front

of it, there's a good chance he'll go wild. Besides,
weren't you scared?"
"Don't say I'm scared of it! I'm only scared of ghosts!"
Marie asked me what I was going to do when I said I
had something to do with the grudge.
"What are you talking about?"
"A lot of things. I'm too far removed from that otome
game than I thought I would be. There's something
disgusting about it, so I've decided to give it a good
look."
Marie seemed anxious about that, too.
"That's right. And since we saved the Redgrave family
by mistake, we've robbed Olivia and His Highness
Julius and the others of their show. But since the lass
boss didn't appear, it's fine, right?" (TN: Last boss
referring to the big monster that Hertrauda spawned
by giving away her life. It's in the main story.)
I understand that—but I'm still getting a bad feeling
about this.
I don't like my premonitions because they're usually
true.
"If it's nothing, then it's fine. Luxion let me talk to him
at once."
"I have a schedule to keep, so please hurry."
Luxion who wanted to leave at once was rushing
Marie and me.
Page #120
Part 26
After winning the war, the Royal Palace of the Holfort

Kingdom was busy dealing with the post-war
situation.
The civil servants were working hurriedly and usually
stayed up all night.
Angelica hurriedly visited Queen Mylene and relayed
the information she extracted from Hertrude.
"Lady Mylene, I can't just stand by and watch. That
woman is also connected to this Marquis of
Frampton. She's dangerous!"
The presence of Olivia, who controlled Julius and
other noblemen behind the scenes, was terrifying to
Angelica. It seemed as if the Kingdom was crumbling
from the inside.
After hearing about the Marquis' case from Angelica,
Mylene let out a small sigh.
Then, she responds in a surprising way.
"Angelica, I'm sorry, but Hertrudes' testimony isn't
enough to get rid of the Marquis."
"Then why don't we interrogate the people in charge?
If we don't act quickly, His Highness Julius will be in
danger. He was seduced by that woman into joining
the army! Lady Mylene, can't you get rid of just her?"
It was partly due to intuition that Angelica saw Olivia
as dangerous.
That's no good. I didn't notice it before, but that
woman can't be kept at His Highness's side.
Page #121
If she was just a love interest, she wouldn't have gone

this far. Although dissatisfied, she would accept her
as a mistress.
But the current Olivia is no good.
Even from Angelica's view, her influence increased
massively. She went from a commoner to a woman
who could change the country.
"Clarice has been trapped by that one too. Many of
the opposing students in the school have been
removed, and now no one will stand against her."
In front of Angelica, who is making a desperate plea,
Mylene looks a little sad. She seems to be wondering
whether to tell her right here. As if she made up her
mind, she grabbed Angelica's shoulders.
"Angelica, listen to me carefully."
"Lady Mylene."
Angelica was silenced by Mylene's unusual
forcefulness.
Mylene closes her eye in frustration.
"The Royal Palace has officialy decided to end your
engagement with Julius."
"—it's true? So they weren't just talks about ending
them, you actually did?"
She didn't want to believe her. Mylene nodded quietly.
"I'm sorry."
She felt her excitement cool down quickly.
Angelica felt the strength in both her legs leave.
Page #122
Mylene hugs and supports her as she collapses.

Angelica asks Mylene in a shaky voice.
"Why? I have worked so hard for His Highness. I've
worked hard every day to make myself a worthy wife.
Have I done something wrong? Lady Mylene, please
tell me. I will fix it right away. So please wait for me
before breaking the engagement."
Angelica was in tears.
Most of her life was her being groomed into a queen
worthy of Julius. If he discarded her, what would be
left of her?
To Angelica, Julius was everything.
"You've done very well. I would have liked to call you
my daughter-in-law. But there are things in this world
we cannot control."
"Because I nagged His Highness? Did His Highness
complain about me?"
She thought she had been thinking of Julius in the
academy and advising him. Angelica was aware that
she had been forceful.
But it was necessary for Julius' sake. Someone had to
say it, and she thought she had been trying to be that
devil.
Since Mylene didn't answer, Julius must have said
something to her as well.
However, after a short pause, Mylene told her the
truth.
The real reason why she broke off the engagement,
even if she had to fight with the Redgrave dukes.
Page #123
"I have no complaints with Angelica. She has done

well so far. But you see—even I can't help it. A girl
named Olivia has been admitted to the temple as a
saint."
"Oh, it's a lie. Why is she a saint?"
A saint—that's the bloodline of the sixth adventurer
involved in the founding of the Holfort Kingdom.
It is said that because of her, the Holfort Kingdom
was born, and its power is still considered sacred
today.
She is a miracle-working saint who can overcome any
difficult adventure with her help.
No other being is more worthy of the worship of
adventurers.
As a royalty, the lineage of the five adventurers
remained in the family, but only the saint was lost.
It is commonly reported that after the founding of the
country, she was deemed to have completed her role
and set out on another adventure.
And now, a woman with the power to be a saint was
even chosen to be a saint from time to time.
Ever since the saint's necklace and bracelet were
taken away from the temple decades ago, the position
of saint has been absent.
Without the three tools, the power of a saint cannot
be recreated.
Until now, surrogates who could not replicate the
power of a saint had always called themselves saints,
but Olivia was different.
Page #124
But Olivia was different.

"Reports from the temple say that she has recreated
her power even without the saint's tools. I have
received reports that she is a true saint, a true saint
who is on par with the First Lady."
Not a fake, but the real thing.
What this means is that she is worth a lot more than
Angelica.
"Impossible. That one's a saint or something! He's the
only one who—"
Mylene slowly pulls away, embracing a confused
Angelica.
"You know how big of a deal saints are in this country,
don't you?"
"No, no. Lady Milene, I don't!"
Milene turned away as Angier squirmed and looked at
her.
"There's a move to promote Saint Olivia as Julius'
fiancée. It's the Marquis of Frampton who's behind it.
And many of the nobles have accepted this as a
celebration. There is nothing I can do to change this
trend."
Angelica crumbled to the spot and cried out loud as
she could
Page #125
Part 27 (END)
The royal capital of the Holfort Kingdom.

A special stage had been prepared in the square, and
knights in armor were on alert for their surroundings.
A ceremony with a number of monstrous guards was
prepared for one girl to assume the position of a saint
after many years of absence.
Backstage, Julius hugged Olivia and put his hands
around her waist.
"You look beautiful, Olivia"
"I'm glad, Julius."
Olivia accepted Julius' words with a smile, but inside
she had a dark smile on her face.
I've finally made it here. When I am resurrected as a
saint—I will do everything possible to destroy this
country.
A white dress was prepared for Olivia.
She holds the saint's staff given to her by the temple
and wears a bracelet on her left hand.
Julius is disappointed to see the replica prepared in
place of the saint's necklace.
"I'm sorry that I could only prepare a fake for your
fine day. I've been looking for it for so long that I
couldn't find it. Everyone else looked for it too, but
we couldn't even get a clue."
Olivia shook her head.
Page #126
"It's fine. I'm just happy to be able to wear such a

beautiful dress. Besides, the wand and bangles are
too expensive for me, and I think I'd be put off by
them."
Julius was thrilled with Olivia for saying something so
'new'. It was a statement that was based on Julius's
inner feelings of being fed up with the noblewomen
dressing up.
Well, I don't really need a wand or an arm band,
though. They're just vessels inhabiting my power. —I
wonder if the part of me that dwells in the collar is
doing well?
He was concerned about the saint's necklace, which
had never been returned to them.
If she made it known in a big way that he was here,
he would surely come running to it.
At that time, I'll change my mind about taking it back
in.
"I'd better get going. I'll go say hi to everyone."
"Oh, let the people of the Capital see what a saint
looks like."
When Olivia pulled away from Julius, she walked up
to the stage.
Olivia clasps her hands together as she walks up the
stairs.
We're almost there, Lea. I'm going to get my revenge
on those guys.
Page #127
Tens of thousands of spectators cheered at Olivia's

arrival as she took the stage. The cracking cheers
shook the atmosphere.
As Olivia slowly spread her arms out, the crowd
naturally grew quiet.
And then Olivia's voice reaches all the spectators.
It wasn't a loud voice, but it was a voice that reached
the hearts of all those around her.
"I am Olivia—I am Saint Olivia. People of the Kingdom
of Holfort, the saint has returned to this land once
again."
The crowd was mesmerized by the smiling Olivia.
Some of them were moved to tears, as if they had
seen a goddess.
"I have only one wish, and that is to bring true peace
to the land. It is to bring true peace to this land.
Please, ladies and gentlemen—please give me
strength."
If she clasped her hands and showed a gesture of
prayer to the heavens, the spectators, let alone the
knights and nobles who were on guard, would admire
her appearance.
Olivia—the saint in Olivia stretched out her hands to
the heavens.
Yes, I have only one wish. Only to get this land back
into the hands of those who should be. I will use you
all up for that.
Olivia's eyes, looking up at the sky, were severely
muddy, even though she was looking at the blue sky.
